  • 2. What sets you apart from other counselors and makes you the best choice of candidates for this position?

      How to Answer

      In most cases, more than one candidate is interviewed for a position before an offer of employment is made. This is your chance to tell the interviewer what makes you a better choice. However, remember that being confident and being conceited have a fine line of separation. Highlight your strengths, but remember to be humble.

      "What sets me apart from other addiction counselors relates to my age. It's taken me since graduating from college to figure out what specific career path I want to go down. Being a little older than most in this field adds a level of maturity and stability that some younger candidates may not have yet."
