Answer sample

I like what I’m hearing but we’ve got a ton of great candidates. Why should we hire you?

An easy question to answer well with one caveat – don’t slam your fellow interviewee’s. On the one hand, you have an opportunity to really stand out from the pack. Alternatively, You shouldn’t assume the skills of other applicants. Focus on your own strengths, and if the interviewer hasn’t given you an opportunity to mention that one “slam dunk” quality about yourself, now would be the time.

Is there a wrong way to answer this question? Consider the responses below:

  • “I really need a job right now”
  • “I need the money”
  • “Your office is really close to my house”
  • “I’ve always been interested in what you guys do”
  • Notice any commonality here? All of these answers demonstrate a benefit to you. While every employer assumes that these sorts of things play in on some level, these are not the reasons they are going to hire you.

    In summation, clearly illustrate what in specific has made you a good employee, and how you envision yourself contributing to and benefiting the company.

    I’m curious – how did you come to find out about our company and what do you know about us?

    This can be a great way to stand out from other applicants and demonstrate initiative. Almost every company will have a website, Facebook page, Instagram account, or some sort of digital footprint. Spend a bit of time doing some online research:

  • If they have a website, check out their “About us” or “Culture/Mission/Vision” pages.
  • Who are some of the principal people who work there? Who are the founders?
  • What sorts of things does this company care about? Do they donate to a particular cause or charity? Which one(s)?
  • What are their core values? Which of their core values resonate with you?
  • Has the company been in the news recently or have they won any awards (Social Media can be a great place to find this information).
  • While your interviewer won’t expect you to have in-depth company history, a little here can go a long way.

    1 Do you have any questions?

    This one you can almost be assured will be asked, and you better have some ready.

    By asking questions you demonstrate initiative, and show that you care enough about the job to have done some research. Ask questions that focus on areas where you can be an asset. Beyond this, other questions may be more direct including productivity, expectations, training, and other logistics. All this being said, try and limit the questions to no more than three or four.

    Lastly you’ll want to ask about the next step in the process and when to expect to hear about the position.

    What do you see yourself doing in five years?

    This one is all about job commitment.

    Some people make job hopping a career in of itself, and your answer here can be telling. Here, your interviewer is determining if you are:

  • someone who sets goals
  • someone who has a vision
  • someone who is reliable
  • someone who demonstrates commitment
  • someone who is loyal
  • While no interviewer expects someone to stay at a company forever, try and craft your response in such a way that shows progression in your career, and alignment with the Company’s needs and future. Again, self awareness is key – your employer doesn’t want to send you down an unwanted path, resulting in wasted time and energy for everyone.
