INTERVIEW TIP: “Why should we hire you?”
With the ‘Why should we hire you’ question, what the interviewer wants to know is how you’ll bring value to the company & the role, so you want to focus on these things.
Here’s a suggested format to follow:
1️⃣ DEMONSTRATE UNDERSTANDING
Show that you understand the requirements of the job and call out a few of the qualities or skills listed that you have experience with.
e.g. “I noticed the role requires X skill & Y experience.”
2️⃣ WHY ARE YOU A GREAT FIT? GIVE AN EXAMPLE
Share your prior experience using a specific example (or two). Even better if you can share something that you excelled in, and any results you delivered.
e.g. “In my previous role when I performed X, I was recognized for Y and received Z feedback.”
3️⃣ WHY ARE YOU EXCITED?
End with why you’re excited about the position and the company.
e.g. “I’m really excited about the position because X and Y, and I really resonate with the company’s vision of Z.”
Of course, you can also end with anything unique that can help you stand out and differentiate yourself too, like the fact that you’ll contribute your humor to team meetings, or bring your famous banana bread each month.

Interview Tip:
How long do you plan to stay in this job?
Tip:
Focus on what work environment you need to stay in a company for the long term instead of defending why you left previous jobs.
It's essential to clarify what motivates you when you are asked this question.
This will also help you understand if the company is right for you or not because if they don't encourage people to learn and grow and try new things and that's what drives you to stay long term. It's not the best option for you.
You got this all the best. 🚀

Here’s a guide to answering the salary question in an interview!
Answering this question wrong can seriously ruin your whole job interview. If you lowball yourself you could either go to work with far less than you could have received or they might think you don’t value yourself and you’ll lose out on the job.
On the other hand, if you pick a number too high they might think they can’t afford you and let you go.
So researching salary ranges for your industry and going in prepared is key 📌
Hope you’re all enjoying your day. Tag a friend in the comments who could use this 💘 and remember to follow @careermattersng
