The interviewer wants to know why it would be better to hire you instead of another candidate and assess that you, as the candidate, are aware of what the company is looking for. They are looking for a direct and confident answer. They also want to see evidence that you understand the job and have relevant skills to succeed in the role.

Review the job description to understand the role expectations and skillsets and how they align with your career goals. Think of everything from the interviewer's point of view - what would they find most useful or helpful based on their company and job posting. Talk about a unique skill that would make you stand out from other candidates. Show that you are an asset to the company and a perfect fit for the team. Make sure your answer is clear, direct, and concise.

"I'm confident that I'm a good fit for this position for several reasons but most specifically because of my dedication to going above and beyond for a job. I am committed to learning new skills on my own to succeed in this role. I know that you are seeking a self-motivated individual for this job. In my previous job, I taught myself how to use a new database system in my free time. This allowed me to incorporate all project information into a searchable system for others to use, learn, and apply to their projects."
