Why should we hire you?
Interviewers want to hear about that one unique skill that sets you apart from the other candidates applying for this job. Think of your answer as your 'elevator pitch' or your qualifying statement. If you can't think of ways that you are unique, ask a few friends or family members what they feel sets you apart from other people. Their observations may help you understand how you are perceived.
Perhaps you already know what sets you apart! This skill could include any industry accolades, exceptional achievements, additional industry related training, a second language, or how involved you are in the community. Don't be afraid to brag about yourself a bit. In an interview, you are your most influential advocate.
"In addition to winning the 'Top Consultant of the Year' award in my current role, I also bring an elevated level of education compared to most candidates. I have my MBA and have also taught first-year University classes for future consultants. I look forward to bringing this knowledge and influence to Thomson Reuters."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

When I read the job description, I smiled because it was as though you wrote it with me in mind.

That's awesome! But keep in mind that this question is an opportunity to really impress the interviewer. What differentiates you from the other candidates? What skills, education, experience, and qualities do you bring to the table? And how will they enable you to excel in this role?
