Reciting academic or obvious work achievements are not the best answers – they won’t distinguish you from the crowd. Instead, say something that will set you apart, that speaks about your aspirations and values. Organising a sport or fund-raising event, taking part in a race, or learning and using a new language or musical instrument are good examples. ‘I was nominated to be a representative to be go-between for our team and the senior management stakeholders’, is another.
