Job Interviewing Tutorial for High School Students,
Teen and Entry-Level Job-Seekers


 

How to respond to Why should we hire you?

 

What is the employer really asking?

 

The employer wants you to tell him/her why the organization should hire you rather than any of the other job applicants.

 

How job-seekers should respond to this question

 

Your answer must implicitly answer the question -- must show how you are better than the other applicants (without actually saying those words).

 

Knowing the requirements for the job -- and showing point by point that you have or exceed the qualifications works well. Demonstrating good work ethic and previous initiative also helps make your case.
