> "I create my own luck"

This sounds like something you'd say while brandishing multiple handguns, which would make for an interesting interview.

On the contrary, I think “create my own luck” is a catchy tagline that will help interviewers remember me better. In fact, I’m going to weave it into my answer above. 👆🏽 
Thanks for commenting!

I think this answer is awesome! I love how honest it is too! 
It has been far too long since I needed to answer questions like this in a work setting and I am not sure I would have beefed out the answer quite as eloquently as this... I would have probably answered with, "I create my own luck", which I don't think would go down quite as well!

getting fixated with left-field interview questions

Throughout my career, I have benefitted occasionally from being in the right place at the right time. My latest stint at NorthLight School saw me being groomed to become a literacy coach because my colleague was intending to leave her job. This meant that I got to use my training funds to attend the online Orton Gillingham course. However, I think that my inquisitive attitude and diligent nature help me gain substantially from my luck. I regularly visit r/Dyslexia on Reddit and read books on dyslexia to beef up my knowledge. I also take the initiative to consult my contacts from the Psychological Services Branch and have them clarify my doubts.
