What sets you apart from other medical laboratory technicians, and why do you feel you will be a good fit for us?
In most cases, more than one candidate is interviewed for a position before an offer of employment is made. This is your chance to tell the interviewer what makes you a better choice. However, remember that being confident and being conceited have a fine line of separation. Highlight your strengths, but remember to be humble.
"I believe my dedication to my studies and the compassion that I have for others is something that will make me an asset if I am given the opportunity to work here. I look forward to being able to become a part of a team and becoming an asset to the teamwork that needs to be accomplished."
"I am passionate about learning more about medical laboratory technology and want to work in a place where I can stay for the long-term and become a strong part of a team. I believe my history of dependability and my drive to work hard will make me a great candidate for this position."
"I am sure every candidate for this position will feel that he is the better choice for the job. I have (x) years of experience as a medical laboratory technician. I have written articles on the processes of specimen collection and storage and strive to stay on top of all new education that is related to this industry so that I can be a valuable asset to my team."

I can see myself doing this career for a very long time, and I believe that I am very passionate about this career. I am very eager to learn more each day when it comes to learning how to operate machinery and perform certain tests. I work hard every day to try and be the best at what I do. I know that MLTs are not recognized for their work sometimes, but it is not about people recognizing my work. It is about my work being able to help patients' treatments.

Try to think of specific and measurable ways that you are different from the competition. It's best to answer with something unique that will be memorable for the interviewer. Feel free to try again, and resubmit :)
