July 09, 2017 ViRa 0 Comments


 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 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 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.
