Why are you the best candidate for us?
"I'm sure that there are plenty of other candidates who have a lot of similarly good qualities. But I don't think you'll find another candidate who is as a genuinely good fit for being a flight attendant as I am. I consistently and effortlessly give excellent customer service because that's the way I was brought up: to serve people and consider their needs well before I consider my own. I don't get burned out very easily because this is so natural to me.
Aside from that, I fit in with a wide variety of personalities, so I can adapt to any crew and become a positive influence on everyone. I think that these are the qualities that make me not just dependable, but also a great asset to the company."
This question gives you an opportunity to show off your skills, qualities, and accomplishments that make you a unique candidate for this position. Consider answering this question by demonstrating how you have proven yourself in your past roles. You may not know what the other candidates have to offer, but you do know your strengths and the unique ways you can add value to the organization. For example, if you share that you are reliable, offer a scenario that proves you follow through and show up. Consider talking about a difficult project you completed, overcoming obstacles and a tight deadline. Keep your strengths and examples relevant to what you may be expected to accomplish in this new role. Remember, you have so much to offer, so do your best to give one last sell on your self to your interviewer.
"I think the one quality that is going to make me stand apart from other candidates you are interviewing for this position is my reliability. I am very proud of my attendance record at work, having only called in sick one day during my career when I came down with the stomach flu a couple of years ago. If hired for this role, you will quickly find out that I am an employee who is committed to my work and my team, each and every day."
