"Why should I hire you?" “為什么我該聘用你?”
This is the classic question most of us hear during an interview. It’s often preceded by the phrase, "I’ve already interviewed another person for this position who looks perfect." Then comes the killer question, "Why should I hire YOU?" 這是大多數人在面試中都遇到過的一個經典問題。面試官往往會這樣說：“我已經面試過另一位想獲得這個職位的人。他/她看上去很不錯。”然后就是這個要命的問題：“為什么我得聘用你?”
要展示你的成績，就得講故事。故事不是那么好講的，你的多加練習才行。
Tell It Often 經常練習
Knowing this ahead of time, it’s wise to put in the time beforehand to work on your answer to this question. Pick your best example of how you went above and beyond in your job. Work on your story to perfect it. Set the scene, describe the challenge and describe your role and the successful conclusion. Use this as an example of how you use your particular set of skills in an extraordinary time to "give it your all" and produce a clear benefit to your employer. 既然已經知道這個問題，聰明做法是提前練習作答。選擇一個最能說明你如何在工作中超水平、超范圍發揮的例子。通過練習來讓回答變得完美。設定好情景，描述你遇到的挑戰和你的角色，以及最終的成功。用這個例子展現你在不尋常的時刻怎樣利用自己的能力“竭盡全力”給雇主帶來了明顯的利益。
Since no other candidate can duplicate your own personal story here, you’ll make a memorable impression. Not only that, but quite possibly you’ll pull yourself ahead of that "perfect" candidate who preceded you. 由于別人的故事不可能和你的一模一樣，所以你會給面試官一個深刻的印象。不但如此，很可能你還會超過此前某位“完美”的應試者。
