When it comes to job interviews, there are several questions that are not exactly related to the work, but are one of the major reasons why your job interview does not have the results that are in your best interests. One such question is the question “Why should we hire you?” Basically, this question is one of the master strokes during an interview.
For one, the interview question “Give us reasons to hire you” or “What can you bring to our company” is something that differentiates the best candidates from the other, good candidates.
This question is more often a surprise question to most individuals who are not as experienced in the process of the job interview. Also, this question works as a divider between the people who are looking for a job just casually and the people who are really seeking a job. While answering this question, remember that the answer should not come across to be egotistic or be completely unrealistic. You should focus on providing reasons to hire you over someone else in the best way you can.
The following are some points to consider:
1. One of the best ways to answer this question is to make a short list of all your advantages that would point out the positive aspects that you have for the new job position.
2. One of the points that you can raise is the similarity of the job profile you are aiming in the company basis to the job profile you enjoyed in the previous job.
3. You can also take the interviewer’s attention towards your key skills and strengths, name – quick learning, excellent communication skills, etc
4. In addition, your professional ambitions should be made clear – the motivation and dedication that you have for the profession and the opening position.
5. Make sure that your answers do not come out to be too much about yourself or even can be translated into bragging.
6. The body language when you answer the question is important too. For example, your body language should make it clear that you have thought about the answer and given a carefully worded answer, instead of coming up with a made up, dummy answer.
7. The last sentence, a phrase that can be used is, The job is tailored to my (or- I will bring my) experience, knowledge base and abilities and I believe I can maximize my skills for the benefit of the company.
