How should you answer 'Why should I consider you for this job' at a job interview or on a job application?

When an interviewer asks you "Why should I consider you for this job?" they want to know what you can do for the company that no other candidate can do. Think about it from the interviewers perspective - they want to know what your contribution to the company will be. Some people may start listing their own accomplishments, but the interviewer doesn't want someone with a great resume, they want someone who is going to make a difference at the company.
