The interviewer is giving you the opportunity for open-ended self-promotion. This is a great time to highlight your experiences or skills that may not be captured in classic interview questions.

Pick two to four skills or experiences that make you a stand-out candidate for this role. If you possess any skills or experience that is mentioned in the job description as a key aspect of the role, talk about that now. This is an opportunity to ensure the interviewer hears everything you hoped to cover in the interview.

Avoid focusing on any skills or experiences that have already been covered in depth during the interview. If you feel you have touched on everything through the interview already, restate your highlights for the interviewer and move on.
Avoid being too brief. You want to give the interviewer at least two reasons that truly relate to the role or company.
