Ride the Storm: Navigating Through Unstable Periods / Katerina Rudko (Belka G...
Why should we hire you
1. When an interviewer asks you, " why should I hire you?" he
really means, "What makes you the best fit for this position or
organization?" or the question may be asked in the other way as,
" Why you chose our organization for your career start?" The
answer for this questions should be concise " sales pitch" that
explain what exactly you have to put in front or offer the
employer.
One should remember employers hire employees to solve their
problem or get the perfect outcome with or without providing
any training and the one who is self starter. Your goal when
making your area clear is to show that you are the best candidate
to solve the problem.
When you are getting ready for the interview, take a review on
the job description, requirement for the position, personal skills
and qualifications, then make a list if you fit in these
2. requirements. On each quality, think specific and think of time
you used the trait to achieve it at work. Think beyond the job
description and judge which of your skills and talent make you a
better candidate.
Many candidates answer this question by expressing their work
desire such as " I am impressed by the growth of the company
and I would like to be a part of the organization to help to make
more growth using my skills and talent". This might be a
professional answer but just think again that it is based on the
candidate's desire and not on company's.
What is according to the interviewer's point of view
The interviewer is not interested in what you desire or about
your interest to work in the organization. All he is looking for
the solution on their issues. He wants to fill the potential
candidate who can add value to his team. And this is why the
question comes as " Why you should be hire?" This is the best
way to analyze yourself if really you are eligible for the position
or the position is meant for you.
How the answer should be
1) Firstly think what skills, experience and qualification you
possess which is important for a particular job.
2) Secondly identify which one you have and best suit in.
3) Based on above two challenges just think how to frame your
3. answer and it can be in the way you express that how you are
suitable or how your skills can be utilized for the position.
4) The answers can be:
(a) "I know you are looking for a specific (xyz) skills and I am
considered to be expert in which you are looking for as I have an
hands on experience on the same.
(b) "I also know the candidate who takes initiative and self
starter are always welcome and several of my previous
colleagues and social media groups has appreciated on the
quality.
(c) It could be " I understand you are looking for a candidate
who can be right on job from day one without much training and
this is what something I have done consistently in the previous
job.
(d) or the way as, "as per your description on the position I
possess the qualities and qualification as well to fit perfect".
Have you seen how easy and concise it can be? Expressing the
views according to the positive aspect from the organization's
point of view can be easier to know your thoughts, willingness
and desire to be a part of the organization.
