Prepare for this question before going in, by really examining what exactly this job would entail. This question is designed to be a trap, weeding out those candidates that don’t have a clear understanding as to what their role would be. Keep your answer concise and professional. Example: Say you would hire either the best candidate for the job or an individual possessing the qualities and strengths…and list the attributes you told the interviewer you hold. By doing this, you make yourself the candidate you would hire without explicitly saying this. What not to do: Never say that you are the best candidate for the job, as you have no idea what qualifications the other candidates hold.
