1 Know Your Value

Understanding your own worth is crucial when answering why an employer should hire you. Reflect on your past achievements and how they align with the needs of the potential employer. Highlight your unique skills that set you apart from other candidates. For example, if you have a knack for turning around struggling projects, mention how this ability can benefit the company. Tailor your response to the job description, making sure to emphasize how your particular expertise will add value to the team and contribute to the company's goals.

I believe that understanding the value you can bring to organization is crucial. To communicate this effectively, you need to make sure to align your experience with the needs of the potential employer. Firstly, you need to carefully study the job description to identify key skills and qualities they are looking for in a candidate. Then highligh how your experience directly address those needs. For example, if the job requires someone who can turn around struggling projects, you need to emphasize your track record of revitalizing stagnant initiatives and driving them to successful completion.

Cada pessoa é única e se conhecer de fato e conseguir externar habilidades que v?o muito além da técnica, chamam a aten??o. Essas habilidades est?o ligadas a própria experiência, a atitudes e resultados obtidos em projetos anteriores e das quais a empresa pode se beneficiar.

2 Research Thoroughly

Before you can effectively answer why you should be hired, you need to do your homework on the company. Research their mission, values, recent successes, and challenges. This knowledge allows you to craft a response that resonates with what they're looking for in an employee. For instance, if the company values innovation, discuss your track record of creative problem-solving and how you can help foster a culture of innovation within their team.

Claro que para chegar nesse ponto, você deve estar alinhado com a cultura da empresa, e que toda a sua bagagem fará diferen?a com você ali. Nada de textos prontos... nessa hora sua honestidade e habilidade de convencimento falam mais alto...

3 Match Skills to Job

Matching your skills to the job description is a key strategy. Review the job posting carefully and make a list of the required skills and qualifications. Then, prepare examples from your past work that demonstrate you possess these skills. Be specific and use these examples to show how you've successfully applied these abilities in a real-world context, which will give the employer a clear picture of what you can do for them.

4 Show Enthusiasm

Enthusiasm can be just as important as skills and experience. When answering why you should be hired, convey your genuine excitement about the role and the company. Let them know that you're not just looking for any job, but that you're particularly interested in this opportunity and eager to contribute. Your passion can often be a deciding factor, setting you apart from candidates who may have similar qualifications but lack the drive.

5 Problem-Solving Mindset

Employers highly value candidates with a problem-solving mindset. When discussing why you should be hired, talk about times when you've identified issues and implemented solutions. Explain how your approach to problem-solving will benefit the company, whether it's through improving processes, increasing efficiency, or driving innovation. Your ability to tackle problems head-on can be a compelling reason for an employer to choose you.

6 Cultural Fit

Lastly, consider the cultural fit. Companies are not just hiring a set of skills; they're hiring a person who will interact with other team members and contribute to the workplace environment. Discuss your work style, values, and how they align with the company culture. Share anecdotes that illustrate how you've contributed positively to past team dynamics. Being a good cultural fit can often be the tipping point in your favor.
