"Why Should We Hire You?"

This is another incredibly common question, and it gives you a great opportunity to stand out from the crowd and really show the hiring manager how you can help the company.

The key thing to remember here is: be specific.

Leverage your company research and the job description to find exactly why the company is hiring someone for this position. What problem/pain point does the new hire have to solve? You need to show that you are the perfect candidate that can solve those problems/pain points.

EXAMPLE ANSWER:

“After reviewing your job description, it was clear that finding someone with a willingness to learn that would face challenges head-on was a priority. Generally, I relish opportunities to explore the unknown, and I’m eager to glean all I can from those around me. Additionally, I understand the value of doing my own research to find answers, as well as asking intelligent questions of those around me. Taken together, I think that makes me an exceptional fit in that regard, making me an excellent candidate for the role.”
