Interview Question: best way to answer this type of question?

In an interview for an investment banking analyst, what is the best way to answer this type of question? i.e. Who is Bob Bobson?

If I appointed you today, what value would you add (immediately)?

Besides money, what would you gain from working in investment banking?

What should I include, and what should I not say?

Thanks for help.

 

No disrespect but if you don't know your strengths and how these can help you add value, you're in a serious pickle.
