This is a test. The easy answer is that you are the best person for the job -- but why are the best person for the job? Give the interviewer reasons why you are the best and only cancdidate that should get the job. What additional qualities do you have that the others may not have?

• Are you a natural sales person?
  
• Do you easily talk to people
  
• Do you know a lot about the products or services that the company sells?

“This is a basic but important question,” says Richard Alberg, a senior vice president at Kenexa, a recruitment and retention company. “We are looking for evidence that the candidate has thought about the job, the company, the brand.”

Answering this question should be preplanned and takes some company researched thought. Your answer should not only be based opn what skills you have to offer but should be based on the research you have done on the company. Sincerity is extremely important and is easily sensed. Relate your answer to your long-term career goals and how the company is part of your goals.
