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.

THE WILDFLOWER MOVIE REVIEW.

  Think of The Wait and how it made you feel. How it brought things you have ever seen, heard of or experienced right to you, that is exactly how you would feel with this movie.  This is a movie that is a must watch if you are a mother, an elder sister, if you are connected to a female one way or the other, this movie is for you. Trust Aunty Biodun Stephen to always give you real life and realistic themes and plots. Hence the plot of this movie is so close to home that I could remember some scenarios. But the movie was dragged at so many points. If you are looking for a movie that would kick you in the punch at once, this is not that movie. This is the movie that you have take your time to go through the prolonged actions and scenes, which was caused by some actors, who unfortunately were key players.
