I was thinking the same thing. Would love to hear what responses or reactions, if any, the applicants got from the potential employers!

I just used that line “I’m so unique, I can’t fit it into 150 characters or less!” for my reply…fingers crossed!

While I resent that the question tests the level of desperation and willingness to grovel, I find myself desperate and willing to grovel. So, here’s my attempt at an answer: “I am not from a cookie-cutter, nor am I unique; however, I may be uniquely qualified. Let’s meet and discuss.”

How about what makes me qualified for the job? Ugh.

Let me know if this works for you! 🙂 It’s a tough question to answer to succinctly!

I just stumbled upon a question like this on a job app that I was filling out. It’s a tricky one that I’m sure prevents many from continuing. My take on it was to highlight something that I pursue constantly in my life (which is quality) and give it a more informal tone saying that this includes food too, and best if this is homegrown! Not sure if it will fit the bill, but it was an honest answer.

Thanks for posting this! It definitely makes me feel a bit relieved I’m not the only one that feels uneasy with these types of questions.
