"Why should we hire you?"
"Why SHOULDN'T you hire me?"

[LokiTheWeirdo]

"why should we hire you?"

"because you are hiring."

[pamwaldron]

My mom was asked this question during an interview. She told them,
"It's true I have no experience, so you can train me to your standards without having to undo any bad habits, since you're the first to hire me.
I learn fast and I'm always on time."

She got the position she wanted.

What I did was partly the first part. I still got the job.

The difference is confidence and showing that you are not begging (even if you kinda do😅)

What I said was basically, I am an extremely intelligent and fast learner person + what they were offering was what I was looking for.

In short make it look like it is a fair transaction, mention what you will gain vs what they will gain, it puts it in perspective for the hiring person too.

I dont think you intended this, but It's videos like this that made me kill the idea of a corporate job for myself and desire to be a stay at home mom. 😅 I couldn't ever see myself being this excited for a company. I love a good job. I just can't fake the excitement and desire anymore to want a job with office politics, bureaucracy, gossip, etc. Thank you! 😁😁😁

“Why should we hire you?”
“You need more employees, I need a job. It’s a win win.”

[SasskiF]

One previous interviewer phrased this question as, “Why are you worth this much money?” 💰
I was interviewing for a part time job on minimum wage. I was so furious, that I could not even answer. Honestly, it took me several months to realise that this is what that question should have been, and I still feel justified in my rage. I will not explain why you should pay me LESS THAN minimum wage if you’re going to hire me. 😂 Glad I’m not working there.

"Why should we hire you?"
"Absolutely!"
"Well you seem to grasp that jargon doesn't actually need to make sense, so you're hired."

You MUST connect the dots for the hiring manager between what you've done in the past and what you might do in the future at that company. Get them thinking of you as an employee and you'll get the job every time.

When you realize that interviewers are not asking these questions literally, but gauging how you respond to them, you will do much better in interviews. They don’t REALLY care about the answers. They’re looking for communication skills, interpersonal skills, judging your character, and how you present yourself. I’ve landed a few jobs I wasn’t “qualified” for, but did so well on the interview for it that they hired me.

I find it weird that we even need to do this. The interview portion of hiring seems almost useless

[zettagotbored]

Note: If you're applying for a position that is entry level or an internship that specifically says they're looking for someone willing to learn, it's okay and good to say you want to learn. Just make sure you have specifics of what you'd like to learn and why that company is where you want to learn more about the industry and grow as an employee

[SylviusTheMad]

That sounds like an unscored ice-breaker question. I was once asked, "Why do you want to work here?" and I replied, "I don't, particularly, but I need a job."

The question was unscored, and they hired me (though the HR person running the competition still hates me).

[meggomyeggo]

I completely agree with your tips! I actually recommend something a little different in terms of your values tip though. Rather than mention company values during my interview for a job I wasn’t qualified for, I focused on what they were doing in the space and specifically what kind of thought leadership they were putting out. I watched the CEO’s keynote speech at an industry conference and weaved some of his talking points and the fact I had watched it into my interview. I also focused on where the experience I did have gave me an advantage over someone with traditional experience. I ended up getting the job, and my supervisor told me it was those two things that got me hired!

If these are the rulesets for choosing who to hire then it's no wonder that companies are going bankrupt like crazy

[TriscuitBiscuit]

Erin can you please cover what to say to an interviewer about religious restrictions? Such as needing certain days of for worship?

[КатяСубботина-ъж]

Literally had an interview for my first huge job just a couple of minutes ago! Was really stressing over it, but this video helped me notice all the things I did right❤️ thank you so much!!

[josiahbaumgartner]

I like the old “since I come from a different background than many others in this field, I’m able to bring fresh and creative ideas and perspectives that others may not think of”

nah, my autism doesn't let me lie about how much i disagree with something, and i disagree with stupid questions.
