Question

What should i answer when the interviewer asks me why do you deserve this job more than others?

Answer 1

You did not say much about what the job is or what your skills are, both are very important when answering this question.

For example, let's say the job is for a heart surgeon and you have preformed thousands of open heart surgeries without ever loosing a patient plus, you have invented several heart related tools that everyone uses. Well, you say you are the best.

If instead, you have been working at a fast food restaurant, taking orders, and the job you are applying for has nothing to do with that. Well then you talk how you may not have a resume that shows you are the best at this job, but you will be the hardest worker they can find. You are a quick learner, never complain and NEVER, EVER, late for work.

What I am trying to say is match the skills that you do have that would be good in this job. If the job has customer contact tell them that you are great working with the public. If details are important in the job that tell them you are a very detail oriented person.

This can go on and on without knowing more about you and the job so I will stop here. I hope it helps.
