What is something unique that you can contribute to this job that someone else may not be able to?
People, in general, are hesitant to brag about themselves. We have been conditioned to be humble and to credit our entire team for the success we achieve. However, this does not apply during an interview. This is the time for you to brag about your achievements, skills, and experience. The interviewer expects this. That is why they will ask a question like this to give you the chance to describe your unique qualifications.
"I believe a unique quality I can bring to your organization is the breadth of my experience working with a variety of different systems. These include different types of hardware, operating systems, and software applications. This will enable me to address all of the IT support issues your organization is likely to encounter. It also provides you the flexibility to move me to any part of the organization that needs additional help or the type of expertise I provide."

My experience from a Business, IT, and Management perspective allows me to understand the customer than someone with just an IT and Customer Service background. I am able to see myself in the eyes of the customer and understand their needs as well as what can satisfy them. Therefore, I believe my experience can go the extra mile in this position and in other areas you may need me to cover.

Good answer! It's clear you are confident, and your varied experience in business, IT, and management may differentiate you from other applicants. However, I recommend discussing specifically how this experience will add to your ability to be successful in the role you are interviewing for, and how you will be able to meet the employer's needs if hired.
