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

"I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of others, and want to work in a place where I can stay for the long-term and become a strong part of a team. I believe my history of dependability and my drive to work hard will make me a great candidate for this position."

"I am sure every candidate for this position will feel that he is the better choice for the job. I have (x) years of experience as a blood bank lab technician. I have written articles on the processes of blood collection and storage and strive to stay on top of all new education that is related to this industry so that I can be a valuable asset to my team."

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.

"I believe my dedication to my studies and the compassion that I have for others is something that will make me an asset if I am given the opportunity to work here. I look forward to being able to become a part of a team and becoming an asset to the teamwork that needs to be accomplished."

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.
