Title: why should we hire you?
1WHY SHOULD WE HIRE YOU?
2Been to an interview? Bombed it ever?
3Few cast themselves as a deity, who just fell
from the heavens and have all the due attributes
to fit in the position which will help the
company save their world. Hello! I am Zeus and
here to save the company from crashing down, I am
here because you need me to do this job! No
thats not how it works in real-world job market.
You are not here because they (employers) need
you, rather its you who need this job and for
that you would have to sell yourself!
4Dont mistake your interview with re-opening your
cv!
- Be well-equipped with the answers to spot right
on time for these kinds of questions. - What will you bring for the company?
- Why do you consider yourself the best candidate
for this post? - Why should we hire you?
-
5The person sitting in the recruitment process to
hire you, knows that he is supposed to choose the
best person for the vacancy available. That is
because hiring a wrong person can risk his or her
own career too while risking the reputation of
the company too. The boss at the interview might
otherwise get a BACK TAP, for hiring the best
resource for the business.
You ought to sell him/her that you are able to
stand out from the crowd, you have all the
necessary skillset to make a perfect work
environment, can deliver exceptional work and
most of all make the employer look
smart! Therefore, the employer will seek a person
being able to sell himself/herself for him to
make the job easier.
6- You need to understand that recruitment process
is an art more than just memorizing a pre-set
rules of script. - The question, why should we hire you? should
cater your mutual benefits and the outcome of
hiring you for the vacancy applied for. - But here lies a twist, no matter how similar the
job description might be from your previous job,
almost all jobs carries along a little
difference. Here you would need high analytical
skills that might help you judge right at the
spot, the environment and business requirements. - HERE YOU NEED TO MOULD THE ANSWER
ACCORDINGLY!
7THE PROBLEM AREA
- All in all, you need to learn the skills of a
salesperson here. Point out the weak points of
your customers (employers) and come up with a
product (answer/solution) to their problem that
they cant resist buying what you sell
(services). - Make the expensive purchase worth it you need to
know the needs of that particular business and
once you have all these tricks, your ways are
open! -
- The problem occurs with people who are not used
to selling of themselves, but when that awkward
silence forming question arrives you are bound to
appear so appealing that they cannot imagine
hiring anybody apart from you.
8You need to provide the company with the pain
relief! And you will become their family doctor!
