How do you answer 'How will the company benefit by giving you a job' in a job interview?

Benefit

To begin, an employer asking this specific question is pretty shallow. The question comes across as if they are doing you a favor by working for them. However, the question could possibly come up in an interview, so it's worth preparing a response.

The best way to answer the question would be to make yourself shine. Focus on your experience, previous accomplishments and any awards (or nominations) you've received. Then, let your interviewer know what you plan to being to the table and how this flows into their organizational goals and objectives. Conclude your response with the fact that your employment is a win-win for everyone.

Good luck and break a leg!
