Why should we hire you?

A typical interview question, asked to get your opinion, or to validate the interviewer's opinion, on why you would be the best candidate for the position, is "Why should we hire you?"

The best way to respond is to give concrete examples of why your skills and accomplishments make you the best candidate for the job. Take a few moments to compare the job description with your abilities, as well as mentioning what you have accomplished in your other positions. Be positive and reiterate your interest in the company and the position.

You should always remember that this questions is not the one you can be unrealistic and not time to be egotistic. Just focus on giving them reasonable reasons for them to choose you rather than someone else.

- Short list of your best sides at that job you are applying to.

- The answer must be relevant to the job title.

- Again, the answer won't be too much about yourself but mostly about the smiliar jobs that you completed successfully in the past.

- Interviewer won't only listen your what you are saying, they will also check how you look to them. Don't give them impression that you were ready for this question and just reding it once more again to their face. Make it all look like natural.

Your answer can take as much as time it takes, don't worry most managers will listen to you until you finish.

Give them an example!

Tell them a story that happened in the past that was about a success while you were working for a company. Make sure that the example is strong enough to persuade the interviewer.

So make a bridge between your work history and the job that you are applying to.

My answer to this is usually: I take pride in every job that i'm set to do, no job given to me is of poor quality or half done. I have great time management skills which is needed for a job like this. I always have the companies best interests at heart, and I do my very best to ensure customer satisfaction.

This is a question that comes up a lot - usually in different forms too.  I like the question and try to answer with relevant experience about the current position being applied for with examples of what i've done in the past.  People have also stated that in SOME cases it is actually better to be honest, as some like them.  I have heard of someone actually getting a job because they answered this question with "because i need the money"

This is a very difficult question to answer during the interview, this questions keeps us in dilemma in what way we should answer in order to attract the recruiters.


For this question, we should summarize our accomplishments and how this is related to the applied job position, the answer should be unique!!

I agree, the answer should be unique, but honest.  Dont blag something or try to big something up.  If you didnt take part in the example you are giving, it will be found out.  You dont want to lie about anything at job interview stage, as they will not be impressed by this
