The organization will have many qualified candidates apply to the position, and the interviewer wants to hear why they should choose you over the other applicants. Review the job announcement and look for the qualities the organization is looking for in their ideal candidate. If they describe that they are looking for an ABTS certified thoracic surgeon with a subspecialty interest with 5 years of experience and expertise in Type A dissection repair, you would highlight those qualifications in your response. Also, list any other outstanding qualities and achievements in your answer to sell yourself to the interviewer.
