"I am a strong communicator who can effectively disarm and get others to cooperate in a nondefensive manner. Situations rarely turn confrontational, regardless of the other person's personality. I also have a very acute attention to detail, whether it is my surroundings or someone's response to a line of questioning. I pick up on these things and track them. I feel these inherent talents would help me excel in this position and would be of value."

When answering questions like this, you don't want to answer blindly. The aim is to showcase how well you prepared for the interview and the role. Research and familiarize yourself with the expectations and requirements for their agency and the role. Reflect on your work experience and organize your qualifications and skills, aligning yourself with what they are looking for in their ideal candidate. This way, you can better communicate all the manners in which this feels like a good fit. As they state on their website, "We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process: Making Effective Decisions, Communicating and Influencing, Delivering at Pace, Seeing the Big Picture, and Making Effective Decisions."
