What unique skills would you contribute to our teams?
"I am all about systems implementation. I'm that person who strives to deliver above and beyond quality in my work, then implement procedures that increase quantity without sacrificing quality. So whenever I finish my onboarding, I analyze what I've learned and identify methods to improve my workflow and productivity. Once I feel I've done so, I'll share my method with anyone interested. In my last job, this led to several improved systems for the entire department, which increased our department's productivity threefold."
What they're looking for is a convincing sales pitch. To deliver it, not only do you want to sing your praises, but you want to appeal directly to them. Spending some time on their website, you can find a lot of what they are looking for in their business principles. Some unique traits they tout are discipline, operational excellence, building and maintaining efficient systems and operations, and many others. Consider this an opportunity to align your values and motivators with the work culture of their brand. The more tangibles you can deliver, the better.
This question aims to determine how aligned you are with their core values, mission statements, and value propositions. Convey your like-mindedness and that it will take no time during your onboarding to get up to speed. You want to convey, in principle, that you are already one of them.

I am excellent at generating ideas from myself and others in the group, and see the benefit in acting when the proper plan is achieved. I founded, and co-found two clubs in one semester at WCU because I was able to use my drive to push a project to the finish even when things got hard. I was able to talk to my exec for their opinions and ideas to gauge our progress and direction.
