Interviewers want to hear about that unique skill that sets you apart from the other candidates applying for this job. Think of your answer as your 'elevator pitch' or your qualifying statement. If you can't think of ways you are unique, ask a few friends or family members what they feel sets you apart. Their observations may help you understand how you are perceived.

Perhaps you already know what sets you apart! This skill could include any industry accolades, exceptional achievements, additional industry-related training, a second language, or how involved you are in the community. Don't be afraid to brag about yourself a bit. In an interview, you are your most influential advocate.

This is your opportunity to sell yourself! Be sure to include answers that reinforce your ability to solve the potential employer's current need. Give an example of past success.
