This question is similar to 'Why are you the best candidate?' Think about the strengths and skills that made you an asset in your last position. Maybe you made changes that made your job easier. Think of your strengths in action! If you are reliable, talk about how consistent your work has been and how you are in constant support for coworkers. If you have a strong work ethic, share how you accomplished a project in the midst of harsh obstacles.

"The complaint amongst my co-workers that it took too much time to pull up commonly used codes in the ICD-10 manual. We brainstormed as a group to determine which codes were used most often and I created a cheat sheet for all of us to use. This cheat sheet saved us 80 minutes per person a day in coding."
