The interviewer asks this question just to find out how your skills, experience and knowledge can add value to the job.Well to answer this question you need to learn what they are looking for and then tie them with your strengths. This ensures that you are a viable fit for the position.

The more detail you give the stronger your answers will be. Try to summarize all your accomplishments and relate what makes you unique.


Your answers can be:



1) You should hire me because I’m the best person for the job. I realize that there are likely other candidates who also have the ability to do this job. Yet I bring an additional quality that makes me the best person for the job - my passion for excellence. I am passionately committed to producing truly class results.


2) I believe I’m the perfect fit for this position. I’m very detail oriented, and I organize my work and time very efficiently. But what makes me unique? If I were in your position I would hire myself because of the passion for this industry and my optimistic personality. I want to make more of an impact than just doing my job. I don’t want to blend in with the company, I would rather want my addition to improve it.

You do not want to give a general answer. Just sayimng I'm great for the job is not going to impress anyone.

When asked this question you need to give detailed skills that you have that apply directly to the position. This is your chance to shine. It also shows the interviewer that you have done your homework and fully understand the position and skills needed to be valuable at the position.

Just saying you have a passion for excellence or are detailed oriented gives them no insight.

The 20 other people who interviewed before you for the same position and didn't prepare gave the same exact answer vague answer.
