How to Answer "Why Should We Hire You ?"

Hire one among many - MY HR"Why should we hire you?" is about the most common question that gets asked in a job interview. Far from being a tough question, it's actually an opportunity to sell yourself in a succinct and memorable way — if you handle it right.

When an employer puts this query to you, what they really want to know is, "How can you help our business?"

The key words in that question are "you" and "our business." When what you offer matches what they need, you get the job.

Prepare for "Why should we hire you?" by finding out everything you can about the company and the job.

Learn about the employer's business, study the job posting, analyze the job description and figure out how that position contributes to the company. See what websites like salary.com and glassdoor.com have to say about the company. Tap your network to see if you can speak to any one who works at or is a supplier to the company.

Take an inventory of your own skills and experiences. See how well they correspond to the job description and what the employer is really looking for. Armed with these analyses, construct your answer.

Your answer to "Why should we hire you?" should follow this outline:

"Your company is looking for someone with ________ (name the qualities the company is seeking). You want this person to help move the company toward its goal of ____________ (fill in based on your knowledge of how this position fits into the company's overall goal). I've helped my past employers with __________ (name a few achievements that are relevant to the position). I learn fast, I stay positive and work well within teams. I have long admired your company and would be proud to work here."

All job interviews come down to "Why should we hire you?" How well you answer this question can determine whether or not you land the job.
