Before any interview, it is essential to put your all in and research and perform your necessary homework in preparation. This preparation goes beyond researching the job posting, the company, the core values, and their culture and brand identity. Performing the necessary research on yourself and how it aligns with your findings on that company holds equal value. To answer this question successfully, it's a great idea to look back at the job posting or job description and take note of the skills Northern Trust seems to recruit for the most.
Many job postings are repetitive, and you should be able to see which skills come up more than once or twice. Focus on those keywords when answering this question.

"I have learned a great deal from my current organization and gained many valuable new skills. I noticed in the Northern Trust job posting that you seek someone with solid results in cold calling, gaining referrals, and networking. These are skills that I have worked very hard to master over the past few years. I make around 100 cold calls per week, and my referral rate is well above 40% - nearly double that of my co-workers. These are just some of the skills that will help me succeed with Northern Trust."

"During my internship, I learned a lot about the art of conversation and getting to know clients by asking the right questions and being unafraid to dig deeper. In your job posting, you mention looking for a junior advisor who is curious by nature, knows how to ask the best discovery questions, and is great with research. These are just some of the skills I recently developed, and I am eager to apply them in this role with Northern Trust."
