I'm often asked "what's the best way to answer this question?"
In effect, people are asking for the magic bullet that will get them hired.
I'm afraid there are no magic bullets.
There are very good answers to questions, but as soon as you think you have the 'best' answer, it ceases to even be a 'good' answer.
Why is that?
It's because when you think you have the 'best' answer, you focus on telling it exactly the same way every time. It loses its spontaneity, ceases to be a natural delivery, and sounds like exactly what it is - a memorized answer to a question.
The 'best' answers don't sound scripted; they come out a little bit different every time.
