Imagine this: You’re interviewing for a new job. You’re doing great. You answered every question confidently, and it’s clear that you are impressing your interviewers.
As a hiring manager for more than 10 years, I can tell you that sometimes, interviews come down to just a single question. Your answer to this question is what your interviewers will remember long after the interview.
You may hear it slightly differently. For instance, “Why should we hire you?” and “Why do you deserve this job?” are common forms of asking the same fundamental question.
Just as you would tailor your resume for a specific job, tailor your answer to this question based on particular skills and experiences the employer needs.
