Nobody can say what questions an interviewer will ask you while applying for a job. Obviously, some of these questions would be fairly easy. However, there\u2019re tough ones too. And one of these difficult questions is: \u201cWhy should we hire you?<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n You could respond to this question too with complete confidence. If you know how to answer, that is.<\/p>\n Therefore, in this brief tutorial, I will guide you on how to answer to this somewhat tricky question: \u201cWhy should we hire you?\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n To do so, first it is important to understand the challenges that an interviewer faces. And how you can use these challenges to your advantage.<\/p>\n The first thing to remember is that an interviewer or the panel that will interview you are already employees of the organization.<\/p>\n You aren\u2019t. You\u2019re just one of the jobseekers among many.<\/p>\n Therefore, any wrong decisions by one or more interviewer can cause losses to the company. Once you understand this scenario, it\u2019s easy to understand the challenges that interviewers face.<\/p>\n Here, there\u2019s one very important point to remember. Never make any false claims on your resume or biodata or CV.<\/p>\n You might get past the interviewer but your lies will be found out during Employee Background Screening. And you could lose the job and face severe embarrassment.<\/p>\n Given these facts, how would you answer this question: \u201cWhy should I hire you,\u201d within two to three minutes, impart an excellent impression and win over one or more interviewers?<\/p>\n Here\u2019re some useful tips.<\/p>\n Answering this question depends on two factors: whether you\u2019re a fresher or an experienced job seeker. Therefore, respond to this question using the following tips.<\/p>\n You\u2019re applying for that job for some reason. Maybe it\u2019s an organization you wish to work for and see excellent career prospects. Or you\u2019re looking at launching your career with this particular organization and\u00a0gain skills\u00a0as fresher.<\/p>\n Therefore, speak about the reasons why you\u2019re applying for the job and how working there benefits you. Unless you see personal and professional benefits with the employer, you wouldn\u2019t be applying. And interviewers know that too.<\/p>\n Hence, it\u2019s better, to be honest about the reasons behind your application.<\/p>\n If you have adequate experience for the job, say how it would benefit a new employer. Speak about the value you can add to the organization, should they hire you.<\/p>\n Tell the interviewer that you can start performing well within a very short period, thanks to your expertise and qualifications.<\/p>\n And if you\u2019re a fresher, point out you\u2019re a quick learner and would be able to start delivering the necessary results within a realistic time span.<\/p>\n Speak why training you would prove beneficial to the organization. Use your academic qualifications and mention how they would come handy for the employer in their field of business.<\/p>\n When you speak about a vision for yourself, you\u2019re indirectly speaking about your plans to grow with the company. And this signifies you\u2019re willing to exert extra efforts to enable the organization\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n When you answer \u2018Why should we hire you,\u201d speaking of your vision enables interviewers to know you\u2019ll be an employee that means business.<\/p>\n Usually, there\u2019s another question: \u201cWhere do you see yourself in five years?\u201d Try and find how you should answer this question and include a part of it while answering why someone should hire you.<\/p>\n Employers prefer hiring\u00a0candidates that have a goal for themselves\u00a0and are willing to tie them with the company\u2019s objectives.<\/p>\n How the employer benefits should come while finishing your answer to this question: \u201cWhy should I hire you?\u201d If the employer wasn\u2019t interested in your services, you wouldn\u2019t be there at the interview in the very first place.<\/p>\n The very fact that someone took the efforts to go through your application, include you on the shortlist and invite for an interview clearly indicates that. This means, the employer also has some interest in hiring you. After all, they\u2019re not doing charity.<\/p>\n When you include the above three points, round off your answer about how any- I repeat- any employer would benefit by hiring you. This is a clear indicator of your confidence.<\/p>\n It sends a loud and clear message that by losing you, the company could be inadvertently gifting away your talents to a close competitor.<\/p>\n No interviewer on this planet wants to regret losing someone that could be an asset to the organization. And you need to drive home this message during an interview.<\/p>\n Most Indians consider an interview as a cat-and-mouse game of sorts. That\u2019s a sheer myth. Instead, an interview is a healthy way to put your views clearly across to your future employers.<\/p>\n Therefore, use your wit instead of that traditional seriousness or fake smiles that people suggest. Usually, the cheer you spread during an interview by using your wit creates a lasting impression than those fake smiles and serious, long faces that some articles preach.<\/p>\n When asked \u201cWhy should we hire you?\u201d you could try something witty such as \u201cBecause I\u2019m irreplaceable.\u201d A candid, witty answer like that usually amazes the interviewer. It also shows your confidence levels and sportiveness.<\/p>\n No interviewer will view you negatively if you provide a witty answer, as long as it isn\u2019t vulgar or offensive or reeks of overconfidence.<\/p>\n Of course, when you say you\u2019re irreplaceable, it\u2019s imperative to qualify the statement. Here, use the above four points to emphasize your point.<\/p>\n Never look for typical answers while preparing for an interview. Understandably, the Internet is rife with suggestions on how to answer tricky interview questions.<\/p>\n Renowned American motivational speaker,\u00a0Dr. Stephen R. Covey\u00a0says: \u201cMost people don\u2019t listen with the intent to understand. They listen with the intent to reply.\u201d<\/p>\n Therefore, it\u2019s important to listen to the question and understand it. That would fetch better results. However, most of us tend to rush and reply to some vague fear of failing the interview. The five simple techniques I mentioned above should help you clear any interview.<\/p>\n READ ALSO:\u00a0\u00a0JOBS IN TANZANIA<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nobody can say what questions an interviewer will ask you while applying for a job.
