How do you answer 'Why do you feel you are ideal for this position'?

Answer 1

Highlight any parts of the job or job description that sound like you but add positive comments to each description. TELL the intervewer how closely you match the job description ("I'm an excellent writer." or "My great personality and helpfulness are perfect for customer service." or "I know many of the required software programs and I'm also a quick learner!" ) Are they looking for someone who has a lot of computer skills? Do you have these skills? Then go on and on about them! :o) ~ T What's imperative here is that you offer something the other candidates probably can't. No time for modesty on this one. For instance, if you're applying for a copy editor position, you can assume most everyone else applying has some kind of editing experience, a degree in English and a desire to be a good copy editor with a successful company. But if the position requires copy editing for, say, a Scuba diving magazine and you happen to be an advanced diver, you can merge your understanding of the subject matter with the job requirements. Or, for example, you know the magazine company wants to extend its reach into multimedia and you happen to be an internet wizard, you can point out that you've got the skills to head the company in the right direction. Generally speaking, this is your chance to point to your unique blend of experience as well as highlight your past acheivements. What the interviewer is asking is, "What can you bring to us that no one else can?" You need to be able to point out something specific and sound confident when you do. And the more research you do on the prospective employer, the smarter you'll sound. Because I am well versed with the job situation and moreover I know i will do it perfectly.
