Worst Interview Question

"Why should we hire you"? I need some help with this one. Don't want to sound too boastful.

Avoid these answers (I Need a Job), (This job is close to my house), and (I need money). Mention your experience, skills, and all the extra work you've done to learn the business. Share a negative to positive story and focus on your passion.

100% awesome

I used to say "WHY NOT!" when asked this question, but someone explained to me that that's not really a good argument. So now when people ask that I tell them that they should hire me because I'm open-minded and I am not afraid to go out of my comfort zone to do a good job! I like taking risks, especially when it comes to doing a job well!

Just show them how it would benefit them to hire you. You want them to see how your skills will specifically benefit them. You want to be able to entrain them to wanting more about you.

Tell them you think you would be good for the job because you like the survice and merchandise. like a job for McDonalds for example tell them you always have great service and you love there food and it's one of your favorite places to go.

With humor you can get away with this! I'd use it just don't come thru as conceited. Break the ice with tact.

At this juncture in your interview, they are looking for you to "sell yourself." Do it in a low key, factual manner and then explain that you are a team oriented individual who is modest about personal achievements.
