"Before becoming an executive recruiter, I worked as a nurse's assistant. I have a solid reach into our state's medical network and also know how to spot an excellent medical candidate. For these reasons, I make fantastic placements in both the therapeutic medical industry and also medical device sales, as I know which questions are best to ask. With that said, I also made many placements this year in finance, IT, and energy-related roles."

The interviewer would like to know what your sweet spot may be when it comes to making executive placements. Perhaps you have a degree in a specific field of work and feel most comfortable sourcing candidates from that particular line of work. Maybe you worked in medical device sales in the past, making you great at spotting terrific candidates in the medical field. If the firm you are interviewing for has a specific niche, be sure never to single yourself out or talk yourself out of the role by appearing one-dimensional.

"I see that you specialize in high-level accounting and finance roles. This year, I placed six CFO's and another four controllers. Finance and accounting is a strong suit of mine, although I am comfortable covering a range of other job placements."
