How to answer "tell me, why should I select you?" during an enterview?

Answer 1

If the question comes near the end of the interview, and you' ve done your job well, you can go back to previous answers you've given to demonstrate how the company will benefit by making an investment in you.

If the question is near the beginning, you're best approach is to provide a general statement, and then ask about what problem they are trying to solve, and then provide your solution.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

First, it's INTERVIEW, not enterview, so you might not want to highlight your spelling prowess. However, employers generally like to hear three things: 1) I have a good attitude. 2) I'm a self-starter. 3) I work well with others. Don't bother telling them how good a job you'll do, or how well you understand the job they have. About 99 percent of the time, people who are fired from jobs, get fired not because they couldn't do the work, but because they didnt get along with others, they had a bad attitude in general, or they were always late.

Answer 3

I would try

My resume can't tell you if i will be a good employee or not. Everyone's resume's highlights their good attributes, and as few of the bad ones as possible. The only reason i am here is because i want this job, i'm willing to work hard, to learn everything i have to - so that i can be the best in my field, and if you are not satisfied with my work after 2 months, you can always fire me and get someone better. I want to be here, i don't just want a job.

Answer 4

When I was 17 and newly graduated from high school I applied to work at a Toys R Us. They had a weird mass interview where the manager asked me "Why should I select you instead of say, her (pointing to the girl behind me in line) and I said, " I'm not saying I'd be better than her but give me a chance to prove myself then you can decide." He hired me and i can't recall if he hired her. That was bizarre but that was my answer. My husband did something similar in his answer to a General Manager at a car place. My husband told the General manager to hire him and he'd prove himself. If the gm was not satisfied with my husband's performance, he could let him go. But my husband asked for a month to prove himself, which he did. glgl

Answer 5

That's a damn-fool question! Not yours, I mean the one you're asking about. It has no valid answer; the interviewer just wants to put you on the spot and see how you handle it. I suggest you say, "I believe my resume can answer that question. Here, let me shove a copy of it down your weasely-*ss, game-playing throat."

Answer 6

You should select me for this job because I am . Sound confident that you are the perfect match for the position.

Answer 7

"Because you can't afford not to. I have interviewed and received offers from 2 of your competitors and while they are attractive, I think that I fit best here. I admire your mission, respect your management style and would very much like to devote my skills to being an integral part of this company's long-term success"

Answer 8

Because I'm well qualified for the job and I'm a hard worker. You won't be sorry if you select me for this position.

Answer 9

I am in retail management so I do the interviews and what I want to here is this:


That your punctual, trustworthy, loyal, hard working, and honest.

Answer 10

Because I'm the best man/woman for the job.
