‘Why Should I Hire You?’ and Other Favorite Interview Questions

August 1st, 2007 by Paul

One of the reasons why you are thinking about going to college is to prepare you to get a job. You can jump one step ahead and start thinking about what the interviewers at future companies are going to say.

A lot of the interview questions for college are similar to those if you were going to get a job at a corporation. Here is a sample list of interview questions and why some interviewers ask those questions:

Describe your toughest assignment so far. “You get an immediate feel for their weaknesses as they’re telling a story,” Zafar says. “You can also tell how they counter their weaknesses.”

Why should I hire you? “It’s the opportunity to see if the individual wants the job,” says Sherry Aaholm, executive vice president of IT at Memphis-based FedEx Corp. “I want to see if they’re passionate and if they’ve done their research into that position.” One interviewee gave a classic wrong answer: “Because you already know me.” A previous relationship won’t get a candidate the job, Aaholm says, nor will such an uninspired answer.

You can find the complete list here.
