Why Should I Hire You?

What a fantastic question!  This is your opportunity to showcase your talents in relation to the requirements for this post.  The key to answering this question is to demonstrate that you have done your homework on the position.  This is your opportunity to illustrate why you are the most qualified candidate. Before the interview be sure to have read over the job description and person specification the company has provided in order to identify the skills and knowledge that are critical to the position, then identify experiences from your past that demonstrate those skills and knowledge.

For example, if the advert has specified the company is looking for a team player, prepare an example of when you contributed to the success of a team.  How did you participate in that team, and how did the team benefit from your contribution?  Another example, if the advert requests a high level of MS Office expertise then offer a specific example to illustrate this.  Perhaps you set up a new spreadsheet to assist with payroll, or maybe you learned how to use Excel formulas in a recent employment.
