Why Should I Hire You? Thought as an interviewer
"I thought it gave people the opportunity to tell me what they wanted to tell me, versus me asking a million questions," Miller says. Only one candidate was able to give an answer without stumbling. What's worse, Miller couldn't envision any of these applicants having a coherent conversation with a reporter if her one question was causing so much distress.
"It is so hard to get a job these days, and I really expected people to be on their game," she says. "I guess it made my job easier though, because when I finally met someone who knew what was up, I hired her on the spot."
In today's job market, where many seasoned workers have found themselves out of a job and plenty of young but inexperienced graduates are entering the work force, do you have the right answer to beat out the competition?
he employer thinks ... you're not qualified enough.
So you ... prove you have other qualifications that will help you in this position.
The employer thinks ... you're overqualified.
So you ... prove you're ready for a change.
The employer thinks ... you don't have relevant experience.
So you ... explain how all experience is relevant.
