WRITTEN BY KEVIN DOWNEY
QUESTION 4 OF 30

Describe the skills, qualifications, projects, etc. that would help you succeed in this role.

Notice with this question the interviewer didn't directly ask about your work history. This question is similar in nature to them asking why they should hire you. Your resume got you this far, but without knowing how wide the interview pool is, there is no way to know how you compare to the competition. They want to get to know you and identify your difficult to quantify strengths. So this question is designed to give you an opportunity to advertise the merits and transferrable skills which make you unique.

Take a few minutes to walk the interviewer through your work history, highlighting the most relevant positions you've held and the soft skills you've gained which apply to the role you're applying for. Display your commitment to your career path, exhibiting a passion for your field and enthusiasm for where it'll lead you. List off some of your more noteworthy transferable skills. This can include creative problem solving and innovation, above-average communication skills, active listening skills, time management skills, a growth mindset and an eagerness to expand your comfort zone, emotional intelligence, and maturity, interpersonal and collaboration mindsets, flexibility, and adaptability.

"I am consistently even-keeled. I have a strong sense of emotional maturity, great time management skills, and outstanding conflict resolution skills. I am an expert at non-defensive communication and an active listener, and never crack under pressure."
