Think of your answer as your 'elevator pitch' or your qualifying statement to seal the deal. If the interviewer asks this question towards the end, you should focus your answer on highlighting the most salient features of your application rather than bringing in new pieces of information.

Ask friends or family members what they feel sets you apart from other people if you can't think of unique traits. Their observations may help you understand how you are perceived. If you do already have a clear idea of what sets you apart, share that information confidently. Remember that in an interview, you are your most influential advocate.

I also offer creative solutions on how to position your department against the competition and ideas that will help elevate your business to the next level."

"You mentioned earlier in the interview process that you were struggling with employee retention on the (XYZ) team. I have an incredible onboarding strategy that took my current company from a 35% turnover rate to just 5% in twelve months. I will turn this pain point around for you."
