The Most Dreaded Interview Question

If job interviews themselves aren’t nerve-wracking enough, you are forced to wait on pins and needles for the most ambiguous (and possibly most important) stock question of the interview – “Why should I hire you?”

Though there are many ways to approach this vague question, Yahoo! HotJobs has been kind enough to walk all of you potential job hunters out there through the gambit.

They suggest instead of thinking up a clever retort or a comedic one-liner, tell a brief, situational “story” that will separate you from the pack. This story should cover the 5 main things that the employer is interested in:
  • Your skills
  • Your knowledge about the company
  • Your manageability
  • Your affordability
  • Whether you can go above and beyond your job description
