Your interviewer is curious if there is more you feel you have to offer beyond what you've already detailed or shared. This question provides you with a great opportunity to shine and advertise more of your merits. How you answer will inform them of whether there is more to you than meets the eye, and if you are the type of candidate who couldn't fit it all on your resume.

"I'd say that I'm a great communicator, which is what I primarily attribute my coaching and training skills to. I am both analytical and creative in my thinking. I'd say I study everything closely, take it apart in my mind, put it back together, and then examine things from an outside-of-the-box perspective, I look for room for greater efficiencies. Then, I take what I learn and pass it on. So I have a million tips and tricks of the trade which I impart to others to help everyone do their job just a little bit better."

Some of the skills that I have are team player, computer skills, time management, and mentoring others. I believe skills would be useful here at Teck Resources.
