Answer “Why should we hire you?” by summarizing your experiences: “With five years of experience working in the financial industry and my proven record of saving the company money, I could make a big difference in your company. I’m confident I would be a great addition to your team.”
There are several things you want to tie into this question.
The most important thing to cover is to make it clear exactly why you are qualified for this position. This can include skills, education, professional experience, and any relevant achievements.
If you can, demonstrate that you’ll be a great cultural fit. Perhaps you met some people in the company or the team at an earlier date, or maybe something about the company resonates with you.
If you can, include some concrete results you’ve already achieved. Perhaps you’ve cut departmental costs by 20%, or you’ve increased email open rates by 30%.
Finally, show your passion and enthusiasm for the role.
For example, “From reading the job advertisement, you’re looking for someone who can translate data into actionable insights. My previous position required someone comfortable with data analytics. I spent a lot of time studying Google Analytics and various traffic reports. In fact, in my last position, I increased organic traffic to our website by 27% based on what I learned from crunching the numbers and performing market research. I think my skill set would be an excellent addition to your team.”
