Why should I hire you?

TRAPS:  Believe it or not, this is a killer question because so many candidates are unprepared for it.  If you stammer or adlib you?ve blown it.

BEST ANSWER:  By now you can see how critical it is to apply the overall strategy of uncovering the employer?s needs before you answer questions.  If you know the employer?s greatest needs and desires, this question will give you a big leg up over other candidates because you will give him better reasons for hiring you than anyone else is likely to?reasons tied directly to his needs.

Whether your interviewer asks you this question explicitly or not, this is the most important question of your interview because he must answer this question favorably in is own mind before you will be hired.  So help him out!  Walk through each of the position?s requirements as you understand them, and follow each with a reason why you meet that requirement so well.

Example:  ?As I understand your needs, you are first and foremost looking for someone who can manage the sales and marketing of your book publishing division.  As you?ve said you need someone with a strong background in trade book sales.  This is where I?ve spent almost all of my career, so I?ve chalked up 18 years of experience exactly in this area.  I believe that I know the right contacts, methods, principles, and successful management techniques as well as any person can in our industry.?

?You also need someone who can expand your book distribution channels. In my prior post, my innovative promotional ideas doubled, then tripled, the number of outlets selling our books.  I?m confident I can do the same for you.?

?You need someone to give a new shot in the arm to your mail order sales, someone who knows how to sell in space and direct mail media.  Here, too, I believe I have exactly the experience you need.  In the last five years, I?ve increased our mail order book sales from $600,000 to $2,800,000, and now we?re the country?s second leading marketer of scientific and medical books by mail.?  Etc., etc., etc.,

Every one of these selling ?couplets? (his need matched by your qualifications) is a touchdown that runs up your score.  IT is your best opportunity to outsell your competition.

TRAPS: Beware, about 80% of all interviews begin with this "innocent" question. Many candidates, unprepared for the question, skewer themselves by rambling, recapping their life story, delving into ancient work history or personal matters.

BEST ANSWER: Start with the present and tell why you are well qualified for the position. Remember that the key to all successful interviewing is to match your qualifications to what the interviewer is looking for. In other words you must sell what the buyer is buying. This is the single most important strategy in job hunting. So, before you answer this or any question its imperative that you try to uncover your interviewers greatest need, want, problem or goal. To do so, make you take these two steps:

1. Do all the homework you can before the interview to uncover this persons wants and needs (not the generalized needs of the industry or company)

2. As early as you can in the interview, ask for a more complete description of what the position entails.

You might say: "I have a number of accomplishments Id like to tell you about, but I want to make the best use of our time together and talk directly to your needs. To help me do, that, could you tell me more about the most important priorities of this position? All I know is what I (heard from the recruiter, read in the classified ad, etc.)"

Then, ALWAYS follow-up with a second and possibly, third question, to draw out his needs even more. Surprisingly, its usually this second or third question that unearths what the interviewer is most looking for. You might ask simply, "And in addition to that?..." or, "Is there anything else you see as essential to success in this position?: This process will not feel easy or natural at first, because it is easier simply to answer questions, but only if you uncover the employers wants and needs will your answers make the most sense. Practice asking these key questions before giving your answers, the process will feel more natural and you will be light years ahead of the other job candidates you are competing with. After uncovering what the employer is looking for, describe why the needs of this job bear striking parallels to tasks you have succeeded at before. Be sure to illustrate with specific examples of your responsibilities and especially your achievements, all of which are geared to present yourself as a perfect match for the needs he has just described.
