The lady said she would pass it on to the Marketing Director and that he would call me back today or tomorrow, but I'm not really expecting much.

You're horrible. You know what your best skill is? Sending out packages. Better brush up on that before our interview.

Choose from these:

1. I am always on time and strive to finish assignments on schedule
2. I am a very likable person, I get along with just about anyone.
3. I have X degree wich qualifies me for this job.


The question is pretty much open to anything. Just sell yourself to them.

Actually, the answer I'd give is: "well, I'm an excellent web designer and developer, and I'd hope I'd be able to contribute significantly to this company using the skills I've developed in that area. If you're talking about non-technical skills, though, I think " <pick a strong interpersonal skill> " is my strongest quality and it really contributes to my success in this position because " <insert explanation relating interpersonal skill to position> "."

That came to me the minute I hung up the phone. I slapped my forehead. I wrote it down to memorize during the actual interview.

I know someone who can do that. He's a straight man, too. Beat me in a dildo-deepthroating contest.

Er, on topic, Doug's serious answer is the best one.  I would go with "My overall dedication to the task at hand is my biggest strength as an employee.  Once I begin something, I am determined to meet or beat a deadline with work of the highest quality." 

Or something like that.  Honestly, cheesy shit like that WORKS.  Stand in front of a mirror and say shit like that before an interview until YOU believe yourself; then it won't be so lame sounding when it comes out of your mouth in an interview.  I'm about to get hired into a new field with little to no experience at the kind of job I'll be doing, and I'm convinced it's because I decided to give up on waiting for a sane employer and just play the game.  So it goes.
