Why are you the best environmental scientist for us?
"I have the necessary experience, skill sets, and ambition to add great value to this role. I am looking forward to the opportunity!"
"I am the best candidate because I have the right background, education, and experience. I know that I can jump right in and get going with very little training time."
Bragging about yourself in an interview can be tough to do, but this is your time to shine! Describe which characteristics and career accomplishments have made you a stand-out candidate. Perhaps you have received some academic awards or have been given individual accolades in your most recent position. There is nobody like you, and now you need to express that to the interviewer.
"I am the best candidate for you because I have a consistent history of exceeding my targets and meeting project deadlines. I have been promoted two times in the last year which is nearly unheard of in my current company."
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.

I believe I'm one of the better candidates. Throughout my whole college career, I made it a point to exceed my targets, when I work on something, especially something that my heart is set on, I do everything I can to ensure that it is done correctly and above expectations. I have the drive and ambition to go places in this industry. I just need a foot in the door. This is something I'm extremely passionate about. Although I lack experience, I make up for it in ambition and tenacity. I'm overall extremely happy I got the opportunity to get an interview, I just hope you feel the same and allow me to continue this journey.
