I can't remember what I answered, although I'm sure it was brilliant.

The keys are that
a) somebody elses answer probably won't work for you. For example, "I live at the airport, I'm not married and I want to work 7 days a week" won't be the ideal answer if you live 30 minutes from the airport, are married with 7 kids and are looking for part time work.

b) If *YOU* don't know why they should hire you then the company you want to work for will never figure it out.

These kinds of touchy feely questions are best answered by you, not by anybody on a message board. By all means think about them in advance, but it has to be your answer.

Interview questions like "when can you leave MDA" can be hashed over all you want, but questions intended to address YOUR specific features have to be answered truthfully by you.
