Something you are good at or are proud of.

When applying for a job, you can include special skills that would either show you in a favorable light or are related to the job. If you’re applying for a receptionist and you’re bilingual, that would help you get the position because you’d be able to help a wider group of people entering the business. If you were a dance teacher part time or a black-belt in karate that could show favorably on you because it would show that you are in shape and concerned about maintaining your physique, which would help keep insurance costs down. An employer would also assume that you won’t miss as much work. But if your special skill is something like hang gliding or skiing, an employer may worry about your propensity for injury.

It means to mention any special skills you have. A special skill could be almost anything – that you are an excellent photographer, or that you teach aerobics classes, etc.

Employer wants to know what skills you can bring to the job. Such as if you are applying for office administrative assistant, you would list computer skills, MS Word, Excel, Power Point, etc.

Any special skills or qualities that you possess that would make you the appropriate candidate for what you are applying for?

It would help alot if there was some background to this query, a little context goes a long way.

An explanation would really benefit here; otherwise, the question doesn’t make any sense.

That you are skilled.

abilities that you possess, such as computer proficiencies, instrumentation competencies, or foreign language flounces.

Basically, they want to know if you’re worth hiring.
