WHY SHOULD I HIRE YOU?

“Why should I hire YOU?”

This is the classic question most of us hear during an interview. It’s often preceded by the phrase, “I’ve already interviewed another person for this position who looks perfect.” Then comes the killer question… “Why should I hire YOU?”

Be careful to avoid clever retorts or comedic one-liners here. Your interview is serious business and a wrong answer will send you packing. This is, in fact, the one question that interviewers like to ask because the answer can so easily separate the contenders from the also-rans. Give a wrong answer and the large “Game Over” sign flashes above your head.

[i]The ‘Story’ Approach[/i]

What they really want to know is, [i]“How are you different than all the other candidates who have applied for this position?” [/i] With this in mind, a good way to approach your answer here is to launch into your best “story” that answers this question, “Will you go the extra mile?”

Why is the employer asking why they should hire you? Because there are only five areas of interest that they have about you as a candidate:

1.  Your skills
2.  Your knowledge about the company
3.  Your manageability
4.  Your affordability
5.  Whether you can go above and beyond your job description

In this day of “lean and mean” operations philosophy, employers are looking for employees who can think bigger and perform duties above and beyond their jobs.

Remember to tell a good story – FACTS TELL – STORIES SELL!  Back up the WHY with real examples that stand you apart from the crowd and personalise your achievements.

Demonstrate Your Accomplishments

Realize that there will always be competing candidates with a higher skill level, more experience, more education/training, or even a smoother interviewing style. The one equalizer though, is the ability to demonstrate how you have risen above and gone that extra mile to accomplish an important task, complete the job or realize an important goal.

Here, you recount that story of exactly how you worked 60-hour weeks, acquired new skills, or whatever it took to distinguish yourself and meet the challenge head on to successfully make the sale, save the project or rescue a client. If you can monetize (put a £pound value on) the end result, your story will only be that much more dramatic.

Tell It Often

Knowing this ahead of time, it’s wise to put in the time beforehand to work on your answer to this question. Pick your best example of how you went above and beyond in your job. Work on your story to perfect it. Set the scene, describe the challenge and describe your role and the successful conclusion. Use this as an example of how you use your particular set of skills in an extraordinary time to “give it your all” and produce a clear benefit to your employer.

Since no other candidate can duplicate your own personal story here, you’ll make a memorable impression. Not only that, but quite possibly you’ll pull yourself ahead of that “perfect” candidate who preceded you.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR CAREER SEARCH!
