why should you be chosen?

Post by devilti »

have you guys ever been to like an interview and had to answer this question?

i find it hard to answer questions like this and i want to prepare this for the ver near future.

right nw my answers include:
1. my interest in this area
2. how im unique in this area
3. what i bring to the table.

is this good or should i cover more. you guys ever been asked this before? opinions or experiences helps

even this helps, pretend your interviewing to be a silkroad GM, they ask you this question. how would you answer it?
boyaka boyaka.

Just be confident. I'd say something like.."Why should I be chosen? I should be chosen because I am the best candidate for this position, and I can guarantee you will not find anyone else more suited to work for you, than me."

Exactly, when going in for an interview be prepared to boast/brag about yourself, your pretty much selling yourself for the job.

yeah thats the kind of lines taht makes it awkward.
i dont want to sound like a very cocky person. though i am.

i know i will talk good about myself. maybe i will go into more details and elaborate so taht they dont directly hear that i said im the best

Sorry but any employer will go for confidence. Which would you rather want, an employee who is sure of himself and his ability to do a job, or an employee who is going "um..er..well..um.." during the whole interview?

Edit:
Oh and of course you want to go into detail. What I said in the first place, this:
"Why should I be chosen? I should be chosen because I am the best candidate for this position, and I can guarantee you will not find anyone else more suited to work for you, than me."

is more of a thesis statement. You hit them with that first, let them know you're serious, then elaborate.

If you don't know what to say, why should you deserve to be hired?

theres a difference between the confidence you described adn the confidence i will present. you said that right off the bat i should say im better than all others. i find that not the image i would present myself. idk, it feels kind of disrespectful. what they look for is how am i different. i ahve to figure out how to talk about my uniqueness without disrespecting others
