Why do you think we should hire you?
This will offer insights as to how grounded and well-rounded you are as a candidate. Coming across as overly confident could make you seem arrogant. Too humble can make you seem insecure or underqualified. This is your opportunity to align your values and motivators with the work culture of their brand. If you have an unparalleled skill set that proves you as an asset, don't leave that on the table.
You do not know what qualifications the other candidates they're interviewing have, nor how they compare to you. You are not competing with them when you deliver your answer. The only thing you have to go on is your own merits. If your merits have helped your employers in the past, detail how. The more tangible qualities you can deliver that have quantified success in the past, the better.
Don't be vague. "I'm good enough. I'm smart enough, and dog-gone-it, people like me." Simplified answers won't sell them to you being the most viable candidate. If anything, they'll suggest you're not taking the question seriously.
"My core values are very aligned with those of Honeywell. I am passionate about all these things, and it would seem to me, in order to foster that kind of work culture you'd want to hire those whose principles and motivators are aligned with your own. When someone is excited to come into work, that can be contagious, increasing innovation and productivity. Additionally, outside of my skill set, which you're now aware of, I have an inherently positive outlook on life. Attitude is everything. A bad attitude can be toxic to any environment. A positive attitude can be a treasure whose wealth is easily shared."
"Well, I did my share of interviewing as well. I know I'm the type of candidate I'd be looking for. That's what makes me the kind of employee I am. I hold myself to a higher standard. I hold no judgment against anyone but myself. Therefore, I am always striving to be the best version of me in every aspect of my life, otherwise, I think I'd feel like a fraud."
