Why Should We Hire You?
BA Interview Question #2
When you prepare for a job interview, one of your priorities is to get ready for the most frequently asked questions. Here is the question from the top of the list — how will you answer it?
The question
The essence of the question is, why should we choose you over other candidates?
It may also sound like:
What is special about you?
Why should we hire you?
What makes you different from other candidates?
What are your strengths?
Regardless of how this question is posed to you, you need to know the answer, and you need to know it for yourself.
You must know your strengths and how you can stand out because that is what you need to convey to your interviewers.
The analysis
To have a good answer prepared, you must do some analysis on yourself.
What are your strengths? What about weaknesses?
Start this analysis with the information you can get from trusted sources: your job performance reviews, feedback from your professors or your managers, and advice from your mentors or colleagues.
