The interviewer is curious what kind of pitch you'd throw their way, or if you will squander the opportunity to advertise your merits. It also evaluates how above and beyond you've gone in researching the position, and how well you've been paying attention to the other interview questions in this set. They want to know if you know what sets you apart from the other candidates competing for this opportunity.

This is an excellent opportunity to boast about your accomplishments, go deeper into what you brought to your previous teams, and what you would deliver to their team that is unique to you. Think about your successes, the positive energy you'd bring, and the positive comments your coworkers have mentioned about you in the past. Speak confidently, make relaxed eye contact, and posture yourself with positive, engaging, and confident body language.
