How To Answer The " Why Should We Hire You" Interview Question.

When it comes to the question " Why Should We Hire You"? in a job interview, so many job applicants get speechless and they dont know what to reply.

This question is probably the most tricky of all job interview questions and to help you answer correctly, we have four vital tips to help you scale the hurdle.


– Firstly , read the job description twice. This will tell you whether or not you have the required skills / experience for the job. Most times many candidates have no idea about the skills required . Show that you have the required experience /skill -set to do the job. Use evidence to back -up your claim. Say you are applying for a position as a civil engineer give an example of why you think the
Lekki building collapse that claimed 35 lives could have been avoided .

– Secondly , No one wants to hire someone who doesn't understand their space , product/ team. So take time to co -relate things you ’ve done in the past with the things the company is trying to achieve . Also relate on a personal level , after -all interviewers are human beings too .


– Thirdly, the ability to get things done , no matter the obstacles is something every employer cherishes , so give some examples from the past of how you have solved a problem.

– Lastly , you should always answer with what you will do to improve the company. What ideas do you have that will make life better for your interviewer not merely talking about your experience or education, or adding descriptions like ‘hard - working, loyal , team-leader , etc .

Best of luck in your next interview.

Sista Movie Review

  The opening scene did me in. I read somewhere that the first few 5 minutes of a movie determines if it is worth it.  Trust me, Sista movie hooked me in less than 5 minutes. I loved the straight to the point opening. No show of the Third Mainland Bridge. No lazy show of Lagos traffic. Nothing. Also, the past/present sequence made crazy sense.  Seeing Kehinde Bankole in that role is refreshing, it's not what she is used to, but she did well. Chimezie was quite not in character, or maybe he didn't bond with Ade Herself. I don't know. He is better than what I saw him act here. As usual Aunty Ronke Oshodi Oke gave it her all. This Tope Owokoniran babe tried with her Hausa accent. I love it!!! I think this is the best of her I have seen so far. I'd say this is a movie Aunty Biodun Stephen put her everything to make. This is a beautiful work of art. I love every piece of it. The story line is dope. Directing is flawless. The fun part was that even though It was predictable f...

Ijakumo Movie Review

  Whatever this movie was set to give, it didn't give.  Even the stripping is not giving. Why is the Sharon girl sex talking like she is doing spoken words???  I liked the babe in "Listening Ears", but I feel she is not 'mature' enough theatrically for this role. Wait, what I noticed was that Toyin and her crew didn't know there was a girl who looks like the Sharon girl in his church. A very crazy error that no director should make. If they had come in with this, maybe the finding out they were twin bla BLA BLA suspense would suspense well. But as the director or script writer were very myopic, the twin shii didn't hold water. If they had said or showed that they picked the Ugandan girl because she looked like the Nigerian girl in his church, e for make perfect sense. Seriously, I am miffed. The only thing that thrilled me was Kunle Remi and his lines. O mard gan. 🤣🤣🤣 "Emi mimo ni kin gbenu sohun". 🤣🤣🤣 "So, idi Uganda lo Fe baye mi j...

The Black Book Movie Review

  Chaos is what you get when you try to film movies like Hollywood without doing your homework well.  That kidnapping scene is one of the most chaotic and unorganized crime scenes ever. Like WTH!! Moving on, we have RMD and Olumide bonding that didn't give the vibes they were gunning for. Then the scene where Sam Dede called Bimbo Akintola on the phone asking who he should kill. Please what's the job of the two police men that were present at the scene? What's their work? Are they aesthetics? I expected them to go close to her immediately they realized she was communicating with the kidnappers. No, they stood like they were visitors checking family album. Mchew. It was after the conversation has ended that the soldier guy came to stand in front of her - like a mannequin.  Another thing, choice of soundtrack was shitty. What's "omo mi Seun rere" doing in that beach scene. I am rolling my eyes. All those half half conversations that were flying up and down, na r...
