I recently had the opportunity to share my opinion with Upjourney on how to effectively answer one of the most common interview questions, “What makes you unique?”
Here is what I had to say…
The best way to answer “What Makes You Unique” is to share how your specific combination of personality, passions, expertise, and challenges make you different from anyone else in the world.
The way in which you approach your work and your method of communication will differ from another person who may have the same skill set. You need to show interest and enthusiasm for the company you hope to work with, along with what ideas and value you could add.
Essentially there needs to be a culture fit between you and the company, which often comes from your unique way of being you.
Upjourney asked several managers and HR experts their advice on how to best answer the question “What makes you unique?” You can check out all their answers here.
