Sample answer (read it aloud, then make it yours)

Good morning. My name is Rohit Sharma. I completed my B.Com from Rajasthan University last year. My biggest strength is that I am organised: I plan my day and finish work on time. My weakness is that I sometimes hesitate to speak in a group, and I am working on it by practising English every day. I want this job because your company is growing and I want to learn from experienced people. In five years I see myself leading a small team. Thank you for the opportunity.
