What unique qualities would you bring to our company?
There are some things that your resume cannot do. Showing off your fabulous personality is one of them. Research their website and how they define their ideal candidates in their recruiting efforts. Examine the language they use. Tie in how your unique qualities would benefit their company, and how you fit their mold, when talking to your interviewer about what makes you unique.
"I have a unique ability to strike up a conversation and build rapport with nearly anyone. This skill is a great help when it comes to customer service and sales. My up-selling percentages are always very high."
"I have a strong ability to lead teams of people no matter their background or personality. I can relate to many people because I approach them on their level and get to know them in a way they are most comfortable."
Here is one paragraph customized to appeal to, and attract, their ideal, like-minded candidates: "It's hard to bottle what makes us different, but it's got a lot to do with the warmth and natural friendliness that you'll experience from Virgin people. It's not something that's easy to describe, but you'll know it when you see it. It's in our blood. It's the reason that people choose to take journeys with us again and again. Because when you love flying as much as we do, the getting there is just as important as being there."
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.

I have the unique ability to be able to connect and build rapport with almost anybody. I think this quality would be a great asset to your team as customer service is my strong point and I always treat each customer as an individual.

Awesome! The interviewer will be pleased to hear this. Can you give an example of a time when you quickly built a rapport with someone else? (Use the STAR method.) Then remind the interviewer how this skill will benefit their company. For example, you might say that your personable nature will allow you to provide friendly customer service that will bring customers back repeatedly. Also, feel free to highlight other strengths too since the question alludes to multiple qualities. Great job!
