I agree with everything Colin (cdb) is saying. This is really a pathetic question. Think about it, ANYONE can brag and lie about themselves as much as the next guy. This question has no real merit or integrity in assessing the qualification of a person for any given job. I could say that I'm very detail oriented, very good at multitasking, responsible, always on time and there when I'm needed and an endless list of more nonsense. In what way can one possibly answer this question while maintaining credibility and integrity? If I was responsible for hiring, I would discard every last idiot's resume who has written an endless list of garbage for this question. However, a possible eye catching answer could most certainly be "I don't know, I've never met or worked with any of the other candidates." because it shows that you're not quick to assume that you're better than the next applicant especially when you don't even know them. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
