Answer :
Explanation :

In most cases, you will have no idea who you are competing with for a particular job. So this type of question really gives you a chance to open-up your strengths as a candidate with an emphasis on any assets that might separate you from the typical applicant. Think about what you bring to the table that you truly believe is unique - the easiest way to do is to think of your own personal stories that demonstrate your work ethic, skills, and dedication. Most people have some or all of those skills, but the unique stories are what make people stand out in interviews.
