Talk about your strengths or area of expertise without bragging. If you have been a mentor, talk about how you inspired your mentee and helped him or her overcome an obstacle.

"I mentored a girl in college who was two years younger than I as a part of a mentorship program. She aspired to become a writer then and I met up with her every week to review her writing and talk her through her writer's block. Years later, she shared that our lunches helped her process her thoughts and organize her writing. She felt like someone understood her and cared for her. She's a feature writer now for a magazine."
