NEWEST TOUGH INTERVIEW QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
WHAT WE DO
Phrase That Doesn’t Pay
Every few weeks we pose a question you might get asked during an interview and a suggestion on how you might formulate your answer.
This week’s question:
Why do you feel you are better at this position than someone else?
This can be a slippery slope of a query. Let’s be real: You can’t possibly know the worthiness of another candidate for a position, even if you personally know someone else who is applying for the same job. As such, do not attempt to address another’s skills or experience in relation to the job you’re applying for. Focus your answer on YOU and the relevance of what you know and what you do as they can be applied to this job. Convey your industry insight and awareness, your professional intuitiveness, your creativity, open-mindedness, dedication, and the applicability of your past work to do what this employer needs done. Combine that with the addressing of your knowledge of the company's products and/or services, as well as your awareness of the company's needs and goals. Then, confidently express that you have the knowledge and the ability to successfully fulfill those needs. Knowing the employer’s needs will help you focus on why you are well suited to the position, rather than why you may be better than another candidate.
