Why are you the best fit for this job?
This is a great time to match the qualities that you have with the qualities they have requested in their job posting or internal job description. If you haven't done so already, re-read the job description and requirements with the job posting you applied to. If the job posting has comments like, 'Must be a great communicator'. You will want to talk about your communication skills with the interviewer.
"I feel that I am the strongest candidate for the job because I bring everything that you are looking for in your next employee. I believe my communication skills are my best asset, I thoroughly enjoy pleasing customers, and I have experience using the customer service software you have described in your job posting. In addition to possessing these qualities, I have an excellent track record as a customer service representative which gives me a running start at this job."
