You should relish this question and be eager to answer it! If you are not, then you are completely unprepared for the interview.
This is one of those questions people find tricky at interviews. The right approach for this question is to use it to highlight the 2 or 3 key strengths you have which match the requirements of the job. The job requirements will either be that have been mentioned in the advert, a person specification sent to you, or they would have told you during the interview.
Basically, to answer the question effectively, you have to do some research about the company and the position before you go to the interview.
However, you can answer such a question by telling the interviewer, point-by-point, about your qualifications, skills and experience that make you the best candidate for the position. So use it as a selling pitch.
Carefully consider this question before applying for a job interview. You want your answer to show that you know what skills they want (from their job ad, job description or information you've gathered) and state what experience or knowledge you have that makes you a good fit. You don't have to lie; you just want to match their expectations. Tell them that you are really interested in the job.
Prior to any interview, you should have a list mentally prepared of your greatest strengths. You should also have, a specific example or two, which illustrates each of your strengths, an example chosen from your most recent and most impressive achievements. You should have this list of your greatest strengths and corresponding examples from your achievements very well committed to memory.
Then, once you uncover your interviewer's greatest wants and needs, you can choose those achievements from your list that best match up with them.
As a general guideline, the 10 most desirable traits that all employers love to see in their employees are:
You want to provide simple, clear, and concise reasons. This shows that you have considered how your skills apply to their needs. Many people have only considered this from their own point of view. This question encourages you to see things from the employer's point of view. Why are you valuable? Because you have specific experience in their problem areas? During the interview, you should be asking questions to determine how you can help. After doing this, you should be able to say something that the interviewer will appreciate.
Consider these suggestions in preparing yourself for the answer:
Remember: Maintain good eye contact, have good posture dress neat and clean. Men, check your fingernails and hair. Ladies, dress appropriately, no cleavage, little make-up and light scent. Sit with both feet on the floor and your hands relaxed in your lap.

Tell them the qualities or skills you have that will enable you to do an outstanding job! DON'T say "because I need the money" even if it's true! Instead, talk about your strengths: You should hire me because I have five year's experience at this job. You should hire me because I'm determined, and a quick learner, and I will do a great job for you. You should hire me because I'm bilingual and can help you communicate with more clients.
Try to look at it from the interviewers perspective. He/she is trying to find someone who will provide benefit to the company. The company needs skilled people to accomplish the business of the company. What the interviewer wants to know is, what specific skills and traits do you have that will benefit the company and make them want to hire YOU instead of someone else, and give YOU several thousand dollars a year?
A company only hires people to accomplish something. They don't hire people to just sit there. If you can do what they need, they'll hire you. If someone ELSE can do it better, they'll hire him/her instead.

A potential employee should always answer questions such as, why should we hire you, truthfully. Tell the employer why you would like to work for the company and what skills you can bring to the company.
This question can be answered in the best possible way in the following manner -
You should hire me because I am willing to give this job my 100%. I work towards completing all my tasks within the given deadline. Based upon my experiences, I will be able to give value added improvements to your company. I will do everything in my capability to improve the prospects and growth of this company.
Because I promise to be loyal to you and your company, I'm very patient with people, I know I'm qualified for this job and I know if you hired me you would not be disappointed.
Answer it confidently. Tell them why you think your right for the job. If you cant think of any reasons why then maybe its not the job for you.
i belive this is the place for me and that id make a great asset to your team
Answer by explaining why you would make a good cashier.
If you are applying for a position in a store, such as Big Lots, you might get a question asking you why they should hire you. A great response would include the qualities that you have, that would make you a good fit for the company.
I want to work in this hotel because from what i researched i find it interesting that this hotel is over in 82countries you should hire me because i am sure i would be a good employee to make a difference in the team
This would depend on your confidence in your mechanical abilities. Even if you are confident, it would be desirable to have a service manual for the piece of equipment in question.
Many interviewers ask probing questions that dive into the applicants work ethic and background skills. The main two questions are; what makes the individual a good fit in the company, and why the employer should hire the individual.
The fact that you have asked this question means that you do not understand that a job application is for YOU to fill in, not anybody else. As such I would not hire you. To be applying for the job you would have to have engineering qualifications and perhaps some experience working with control systems. That you are asking this question means that you have none of these and therefore you have no hope of getting the job anyway.
hey it didnt answer my question...you peice of sh**
I hire ppl to solve a problem. Too much work A specific need like security I base the result on the success of that hire. The question you should ask is - in 3 months, how will you know you have hired the right person.
No. Actually you almost answered your own question and the reason I say that is your use of the word "hire". When a business or person hires someone they are not responsible for the actions of those they hire. If you used "owned" then the question would have merit.
If a job is asking a person why they should hire them for a service crew, they should be honest. However, a great answer would be to relay to the manager that the person is a team player.
When you are asked this question, they want to know about your experiences, not someone on the internet's. Someone else's experiences will not fit your background, and the interviewers will know you are just copying what someone has told you, and will not want to hire you.
