How do you answer 'Why should we hire you' in an interview?

Interview Suggestion

With confidence and a smile. Be honest and sincere first and foremost. Now think - Why would YOU hire you?

Here is an example: "You should hire me because I will be an asset to your company. I'm hardworking, honest, a team player and great with customers. As you can see by my resume/application I've got the experience you are looking for in this position. Most of all, I'm reliable and will always be here when expected."

Then, make a positive statement such as: "I look forward to being a part of your team." Anna Webb

Answer

A lot of people have a problem in answering this kind of question, too afraid to sound conceited. But this is the part of the interview to sound conceited!

- Highlight any parts of the job or job description that sound like you. 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!"

- Tell him or her what a hard worker you are, that you've hardly missed any work in the past, that you are talented at whatever the job is, etc. However, do NOT lie about any of this stuff! Only say it if its true!

- Finish the essay by actually writing, "HIRE ME!"
