Job seekers often face the common question of “why should we hire you?” Does this question make you feel uncomfortable and do you feel like you have no clue how to impress the employer with a good answer? Have you been asked why do you want to work for us or what makes you the ideal candidate for this job?

All of these questions simply go around the same point of why you should be hired for a particular role. The question may come in different forms but the goal is to answer it efficiently.

Your confidence is one thing you want to focus on when you explain what made you apply to the company. Is it your dream job? Do you see yourself being passionate about it? Or what is it exactly that attracted you to apply in the first place?

Recruiters have hundreds or thousands of CVs. Never waste their time or yours just by hitting the “Apply” button without doing your research. Because let me tell you the truth, if you are asked why we should hire you, that answer should be smooth and easy and shows that you know what you are applying for and what the position is exactly.
