Your interviewer will make efforts to separate unqualified candidates from top performers. And, they'll be able to identify top performers based not only on their candidate's experience and skills but also on their passion for the work they do, their integrity and character, and how thoroughly they've prepared for the role. They are asking this question to see if you have identified the qualities they are looking for in their target talent. As they state online, their employees, whom they call Googlers, take their responsibilities very seriously. They "listen carefully to others' views and opinions, collaborate with stakeholders," and they state that "co-creation is essential to belonging." So, after sitting with your work history for a moment, determine how these qualities apply to you, and how they qualify you as a Googler.
