Why Should We Hire You? | Best Answer (from former CEO)

In this video, I answer the job interview question "Why should we hire you?"
This is the best way I've ever seen to answer this question. I also include an example and a sample answer.

There are many forms of this question:
Why should we hire you?
Why do you want to work here?
Why do you want to work for us?
Why do you want to work at our company?
Why do you want to work for us?
What makes you the best candidate?
Why do you want to join our company?
Why do you want this job?

I discuss how recruiters only really care about whether you meet the job requirements, and the difference between recruiters and hiring managers. Also, the need to do preparation and correctly prepare for your job interview, such as printing out the job description or job posting and annotating and highlighting it.

In my experience, being on both sides of interviews, using this best answer to "why should we hire you?" (or why should *I* hire you?) (with this example and sample) can avoid disasters and pitfalls during job interviews such as lack of flow, and the greatest flaw of all, which is not communicating your value to hiring managers, or communicating to recruiters how you meet all the posted job requirements.

This is my second video in my series on Getting Hired. I will be exploring all the common job interview questions, including "why should we hire you?" - the second most common job interview question - usually used towards the beginning of every job interview. Please see the other videos in my "Get Hired" playlist for more tips.

There is a big difference between what you learn in business school, and what you need to know in the real world – just ask any startup founder or business owner! My goal is to focus on the real-world aspects of business, giving practical tips and tricks that are not usually covered in school.

This channel is a platform to help entrepreneurs and business owners succeed. It is also to help the world at large to be more effective and successful. The world can certainly use more inspiring leaders, more successful entrepreneurs, and more capable managers - that is what I would like to help bring about.

Who Am I?
I am a practicing management consultant, former CEO, and entrepreneur. I have led many businesses to success, as well as several startups. Among other things, I have a master's degree in finance.

I have worked across five industries, and have worked in both large enterprise and small businesses. In the last five years, I have also been mentoring startup founders and teaching business at a post-graduate level.

Why I Want To Involve My Community:
The only way this channel will succeed is with YOUR help. In order to know how best to proceed, I need constant feedback from YOU. What topics should I cover? What challenges are you facing? What questions do you have? What changes should I make?

Please contact me with questions, and I will try my best to help. Best of luck!

Why I Need Your Help:
It is also very important to me that this channel be financially independent, and not be sustained by corporate sponsors. That way, I can be objective and honest, without having to serve interested parties, or disguise promotions as “advice”. My professional reputation is very important to me. I will invest the money raised back into the video making process. Your support will allow me to continue producing videos on a regular basis, and with increasing quality and usefulness.

Thank you for being here and reading this, and have yourself an amazing day!

Boss: "Why should we hire you?"

Person: "Because I applied"

I wish a copy of this guy lived in my head during interviews like from some Black Mirror episode.

Job interviewer: Why should we hire you?

Me: Well, I've always been very fond of not starving to death.

[iandemontfort]

I've found being honest doesn't work in job interviews. I love honesty.

Damn youtube this is the weirdest way of saying "GET A JOB"

[christophers]

*why should we hire you?*

*because i've always liked your French Fries*

I was once asked “Tell us something unique about yourself.”. I said the first thing that came to me...”I know how to make balloon animals”.
The interviewers were kind of gobsmacked and asked “What does that have to do with the job?”. I said “Nothing. But you didn’t ask for that. You asked for something unique and I doubt anyone else will tell you that.” Didn’t get the job but I DID get a second interview.

Recruiters = incompetent people trying to find competent people.
Often times, recruiters have no clue how to assess the competency of the candidate, because they know nothing about the job in question.

Back in the late 80's I lived in a small town and a Mcdonalds got built. I was just turning 16 so I applied. Guy asked me why I needed the job, I told him I wanted to save up and get a car. All my friends were smarter than I was and knew to tell him they wanted to go to college. They all got the job and I didnt. Not one of them went to college, I did. Being honest wont get you the job but somehow it will help you in the long run.

Another test I had during an interview at a few places: Preparedness. The hiring manager would say "I can't find your resume" OR "I can't find the rest of your application paperwork" I ALWAYS make extra copies. When I hand them the copies they respond surprised then say "You're good at being prepared and planning ahead"...Result...I was hired that day.😁

Know the company you’re applying for, know what they want. Know how you’re fit for the job.

One time I asked for a job application, the guy didn’t even look up at me he just said “we don’t need any help” so I said “that’s perfect because I’m not gonna be any help”

[iamabundant]

Interviewer: Why should we hire you?
Because I'm a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

[Dallass]

I was lucky to have been employed by an amazing boss who conducted the interview at a cafe type place he bought me a coffee and there was no formal scary questions to answer was so relaxed and able to speak freely. His view was conducting a informal interview let's you truly see what a person will be like in every day work environment. And that is how I would interview if I was a boss

[DragaXZ]

Company: Why should we hire you?
Me: That's a good question but a better question would be; Why should I work for you? *leans back and puts feet on their table*

He's just giving advice, and I'm already feeling the stress of trying to apply that advice.

Being honest seems to be a blessing and a curse. I had several interviews last year, internal and external. All my internal interviws with my old employer were bs, no matter the position. Then in my last interview, one of the higher ups was also present and told me to call him after the interview. When I called him, his first and only question was "do you really want this job?" and I told him, no. He was glad that I was honest, because he told me that he could literally feel how much I didn't want it and I only applied because I had to. I was theoretically qualified for it, but he just had this weird feeling abou me. He even gave me tipps for my external interviews and what positions in the current situation I should not apply for and in what positions he would like me to see. Now I have a job that I truely love and I am really glad I didn't lie to him, just to desperately get this one stupid job. (Sorry for my grammar, I am not a native speaker)
