Why should I hire you?

[trick]

I'll answer that question with one word, Real nikka. That's why you should hire me.

 

[Nick Barnes]

that's 2 words though.

I know it's two words nikka, real nikkas don't follow instructions.

Real nikkas don't even follow their own instructions.

I interview people. When we ask that question keep in mind that

The people that we select to be interviewed all have similar qualifications

What we are asking is what can you bring to the position that is beyond the scope of the job qualifications. What sets you apart from the pack. Saying experience, education and skill is playing it safe, but it doesn't make me as an interviewer go "wow"

We appreciate extensive research on the position that you are applying for and we can tell when your responses are generic. Integrating the demands of the position and how you can specifically fill the role with detail showing you understand the position is what we're looking for.

C'mon breh, you know you're still going to hire the department head's daughter.

Disribing yourself as a believer in the Aristotelian model excellence is another good one.

You have to look at it from their perspective and tell them all the reasons their company/team would be better with you. If you can't answer that then you ain't worth shyt in the first place.

Yeah, stupid iPhone. I fixed all the errors.

But yeah, you want to make sure that the interviewer feels like you've been sent from the heavens. If you're clever enough you can easily frame yourself as some sort of messianic figure. No hiring manager is going to say no to a savior.

Always, always, always mention three things: love, passion, and happiness.

If you can weave those three words into your interview you're gold.

I typically save this for the Q & A portion of the interview. Gotta have at least 3 questions for the interviewer.....MESSAGE!!

As for the original question, I research the company firsthand with the expectation that I will be asked this and merge my background with the corporate goals and mission.

"What are you passionate about? What makes you excited to work for ______?"

"How happy were you when you started working for ______?"

"When can I start?"

Oddly enough, that might get you hired. Try it next time and report your findings.
