Your Job Market Minute: Why Should I Hire You?

Jul 23, 2012 5:32:28 AM

This week, I'm going to suggest an answer to a common interview question that will give you a huge competitive advantage.

When you hear that tricky question, "why should I hire you?" the answer can be:

"Well, maybe you shouldn't. It depends on what you're looking for. Because it's as important to me that I'm a good fit as it is to you. If you're looking for someone who is... (and then list your strengths and expertise), then I'm your guy/gal. So the question of whether or not to hire me comes down to whether or not you need someone with my expertise."

With that answer, you've just shown them you're not desperate, and you're an expert. And you've just become the prize in the room.

Listen for these Monday Job Market Minutes each Monday morning on Talk Radio KCMO 710AM and 103.7FM at 7:49am and Monday afternoons during the Sean Hannity show.

I have an opening for one more client this month,  so if you'd like to explore the possibility of working with me to start your next six figure position in a matter of weeks, and not the 10-month national average, reply to this email and we'll set up a convenient time for a conversation.

I wish you the very best week EVER in your search!
