Creative Fiasco
The most frequently asked question by your interviewer, that also interests them the most, is the reason they should recruit you. This should not be misunderstood as an attempt for the employer to test your creative suite. Your answer to this obvious question should not be backed mere by your attraction towards company's employee benefits. It should also not reflect that the job you are seeking is just another escape route to your current work profile, which you are bored of, thus seeking change.
Instead of using creative answers, this should be dealt very tactfully in a convincing manner. You should highlight your potential to perform well, specific skills and training you have undergone that suits the role you are looking forward to in the company.
