How To Answer “Why Should We Hire You?” In An Interview

“Why should we hire you?” According to a recent survey, this is the
scariest job interview question of all. Respondents feared that question
more than other tough job interview questions like “Where do you see
yourself in five years?” and “What are your biggest strengths and
weaknesses?”

Why is this question so scary? In part, it’s because it feels so
confrontational. Although one of your primary goals in any job interview is
to convince the hiring manager that you’re the best candidate for the
position, it’s daunting to be asked to present your case on the spot.

The good news is that a little interview prep will go a long way toward
helping you answer this question. Here’s how to make sure you’re ready to
make the best possible impression on the hiring manager.
