Prepare a quick anecdote that illustrates key character traits that are important to the job. Start with 1-2 traits and explain how it enables you to be good at a skill. Move on to 1-2 other traits. End by tying it all together to explain why that makes you a 'natural' for the position.

"I'm a very observant person, and I'm a good judge of character. One time, when my friends were in a bar, I noticed a man who was a little bit out of place and paying attention to all the wrong things. From his body language, I thought that he might've been looking for someone to fight. I told my friends that we should move to other side of the bar to avoid any problems. And I was right: shortly after we moved, he started picking on someone and they got into a fight.

That's when I took an interest in surveillance. With all those cameras, I could see more and detect more."
