Companies want to understand what benefits employees would bring to the company if hired. They want to see that you will bring experience, knowledge, and an excellent attitude to the organization while being a positive role model for those you work with. You want to avoid being humble when answering this question. Now is the time to sell yourself and let the interviewer know why they should hire you for the position. Explain how you will make a difference at the agency by offering compassionate care to your patients, following their policies and procedures, mentoring new staff members, or adding value in another manner.
