      2nd Answer Example

      This question is a delicate one, and you need to show respect for the onboarding process, then give a moderately ambitious project that you could execute. This concept is often called your 'value proposition' in marketing. 'Hire me because I'll do X.'

      But remember, this is your campaign promise. If hired, it will likely be your first target to hit, and depending on the environment, it could make or break you. The best approach is to give a functional analysis of the employers' needs and your skills.
