The HR field is a very subspecialized field, where professionals need to hold skills in many different aspects of the work. By asking this question, your interviewer wants to know what you consider your strongest suit within the field and how these skills will help benefit their organization if you are hired. Before your interview, put some serious thought into where you feel that your skills would shine the best with this organization and where you honestly find the most satisfaction in your work. As you answer, talk passionately to ensure that your interviewer sees the dedication you will be bringing to their team.

"If you were to hire me to lead your Human Resources team, you'd be hiring a very well-rounded HR professional. I find the most gratification and success in organizational leadership, where I work closely with high-level managers and leaders on leadership coaching, mediation, and strategic planning. I work very well with leaders, managers, and supervisors to help lead organizations into the future, and I'd love to bring these skills to your team."
