I recently interview for a position with seven interviewers at one company. Each interviewer had the same set of questions: 1) "Why would you be good at this job?" Answer: Experience, education are two attributes. Experience foretells an ability to act as liaison between clients, management and staff; and, education provides honing in on academic skills. Academic skills such as writing, portrayals and ratios allows for the meeting of projected timelines utilizing graphic skills (i.e. 20% favorable annual rates). 2) "Do you have any questions?" Answers: What attributes do you seek from a prospective candidate. What is the company corporate culture (i.e. team/divisions/global/environmental)? What is the expected start date?

Of course, no one is expected to use the same words in every answer. The point is to focus on the job description and harp on and on about how you meet those qualifications all the while listening closely to what each interviewer seeks. For example, one interviewer wanted to know how I managed favorable outcomes. I provided details and wowed the interviewer. He expounded on my summary and I could see that a light went off - we made a connection. So much so that he wouldn't allow the next interviewer into the room until he was ready. It was like he wanted to pick my mind. Of course, him making the interviewer wait did not bode well for the next interview.

You simply tell them what you can nring to the table. Years of experience, impeccable references, proven track record. But also you are able to be coached in their company. Everyone does stuff differently and you are able to acclamate to their company's ways of doing thimgs.

No one person can say that their the best person for the job. The fact is that you will not know if you're the right/best person for the job unless you are in that position.

The answer has to match the job being considered and don't suggest that you have a skill that you do not. Misleading an interviewer can be fatal to all future job searches.

When I got my current job, my answer was: Job? I thought that I was applying for a career?
