This question is one of the most common interview questions. Take this chance to tell the interviewer something that is relevant to the job, has a big impact, that will set you apart from the rest of the candidates and something they won't read on your resume. Tell the interviewer about your best characteristic, a relevant and impactful story. Have this question rehearsed but not boring. Avoid the chronological run down- they can read that on your resume.

""I'm really energetic, and a great communicator. Leading a team of four Health Information Technicians helped me build confidence and taught me the importance of effective communication. I've also got a track record of success. In my last role, I prepared our office for our annual inspection which we passed with flying colors."
