This would be my recommendation, or better yet, after having an
opportunity to hear about the company's needs, "What I can do
for you." Whenever I imagine hearing a writer describe him/herself
as "unique" (which, by the way, has never happened in any interview
I have ever conducted), the first thought that comes to my mind is
"prima donna." It seems to me that uniqueness is one of those
descriptions best conferred upon you by others.
