In this video, you'll learn how to answer the popular interview question, "why should we hire you?" What is your biggest challenge when it comes to job interviews?
Professor Heather Austin hello please upload you you tube daily video upload
Anjani Kumar, hello my friend! I wish I could upload daily. Unfortunately because of other obligations, I am unable to do so. If my schedule opens up in the future, I would be happy to upload daily videos. Thanks for watching.
Professor Heather Austin okay thank you for reply
I work for myself, but your tips are also helpful when trying to get new clients.
I have a question, I have an interview in a few days and I know I’m going to be asked “tell me about a time you had to make a decision with pros and cons “ but I don’t have any work experience and I haven’t been able to find any advice on what kind of decision I should talk about.
if they gave you an interview, act like the job is yours already. go in confident. after all, THEY request YOU for an interview.
Oooooooo, this is a nice way to look at it, thanks
tea
Thank youu I needed this
I'm motivated!
Absolutely. You've made it past ATS and secured someone’s attention for a meeting out of many who applied.
Interviewer: why should we hire you?
Me: yes
😂😂😂
😂
Jajajajajaja 😂😂😂😂
Lmao😆😂
dude!!!!!!!hahaaa
I don't like to brag about me and I feel awkward answering this question. But your suggestions are great! Thank you.
Katarina, I totally agree! The interview question why should we hire you is difficult because it feels like you're bragging. If framed right, your response will demonstrate your passion for the company and position. Thanks for watching.
I can't stand the interview game. Hate it with a passion.
Me too! But the more you play, the better you get!
Me too god why do they need to ask that?
Isnt obvious I fucking need a job.
Me too, my las interview the interviewer didn't look at face, was on computer every time was so rude I was lost, and didn't was approved.
99% of the interview as bullshit
Same here. The whole process is just horrible. And the big lie that you have to have excellent at everything. And then the interviewers think that they r the bomb.
Hah this cracked me up
I've often been asked, "Why shouldn't we fire you?" I never have a good answer for this one.
Heather, another great video. I loved your steps, but I also really appreciated that you shared the other similar questions the candidates get that are virtually the same (unique, strengths, etc.). Employers disguise a handful of the same questions and it's important the job seekers recognize this!
Hi Andy, thanks so much for watching and for the comments. Interview questions can be tricky. You are right, most of them are so similar. By preparing a response to a few popular questions, interviewers can cover most bases.
YES SIR
This question was such a must, Heather! I am really glad you've made this video! Asking others who know you very well to guide you a little on "what makes you unique" is such a good idea indeed. Perfect breakdown my friend!
Never thought of an Interview as a mini sales presentation, but that is totally what it is! Great advice on how to do that! Thanks 👍 👍
Hey there! Thanks for watching. Yes, if you can approach an interview like a mini sales presentation, you'll do great.
Great advice. The fact that you've taken time to find out about the company, and tie it in to answers to the questions often puts you way ahead of other candidates.
Such a tough question, especially for students!! But love how you break it down. Thanks for sharing.
Make a direct correlation. I did that a lot. Would always go through the job description. great video. Your channel is great!
Apollonia, thanks so much for watching. The job posting is key when it comes to any job interview. It’s really the roadmap to a job offer.
Kudos for the video content! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Seyddisonal Phenomenal Smasher (should be on google have a look)? It is a smashing exclusive product for convincing women to give you head minus the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my best friend Jordan at last got great results with it.
Great tips Heather! They apply to me as a business owner, too! Being able to articulate UVP and what makes us different is paramount. Thanks for sharing!
In the video she goes into detail talking about these FOUR Tips.
Tip 1. DO YOUR RESEARCH
Tip 2. Make a direct correlation
Tip 3. BUILD YOUR STORY
Tip 4. Show your uniqueness
Hi there! Thanks for the fantastic summary. I appreciate you giving a nice clear breakdown. Which tip is your favorite?
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin Hi I like Tip No. 1
B. reeves, tip 1 is a good one! That’s one of my favorites as well.
Thanks
Why should you hiring people?

No it did turn out well!!!! 💯💯
Professor Heather Austin I’m sorry I’m two months late buuuuuuuuuuuuut it went perfect!!
XD. I have mine in about an hour for a Lowe's unloader. Congrats on getting yours.
Its shocking how many people don't research the company, but its so important to make that argument of how your skills fit their company culture and needs! Great video!
This video was great! I like how you broke it down so it’s easy to understand and implement. Thank you for sharing!!
Hi there Ebony! I'm glad you enjoyed this video about how to answer the popular interview question, "why should we hire you?. Thanks for watching.
My answer is I like to expand and help the customer service. I'm also a hard worker and I'm trying to improve my skills and improve sales
Great advice! Tip #1 is so important for preparing to answer the question and focus on how you can be an asset to the company.
Thanks for stopping by! I totally agree. Tip #1 is essential for answering any interview question.

Hey! Super awesome! Way-to-go my friend. I wish you all the best on your interview. Keep me posted. I'd love to know how it turns out for you.
Why should we hire you?
Me: I don't know. You tell me you're the one hiring.
Haha! That’s definitely not going to get you the job!
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin But I would feel so good telling HR department how shitty and fake the interviewing process has become.
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ann Ann I Totally Agree with you. These HRs be getting on my nerves like just Give me the Damn Job if your hiring..

Andrey, thanks for watching! I'm glad to hear my videos are helpful to you. Good luck in your interviews.
Thanks)
Thanks Professor Austin, I have screwed up many of my onsite interviews, I was able to make thru the Technical or Coding part of my interview but some reason I wasn't able made it to the HR. Before my Last interview, I watched your few videos, and Guess what? I received my offer letter today. Thanks :).
This is the most difficult question to answer. I like the way you broke down into easy steps.
Thank you! So glad you found the video helpful. 😊
In one of my interviews i gave a similar answer and the interviewer came back like “ i have two other candidates who gave similar answers, so again i ask why should we hire you”
Oh no! It sounds like you're interviewer wasn't very nice. What did you respond with the second time?
Such a great video with awesome tips!!✨
Thank you Christina! I'm glad you enjoyed this video.

Dear madam this was a very good video and i hope I will try this 4 tips in my next interview. Thanks for your help
Arun! Thanks for watching. So glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck in your next video. Keep me posted with how it goes.
Great video Heather!
FashionJusticeTV, hi there! Glad you stopped by.
thank u professor heather austin, i got a lot of knowledge how to answer some interview questions. 🤗 godbless ♥️
You're so very welcome. Thanks for watching.
I’m a military spouse so that’s given me plenty of job search and interview opportunities in my career. The interviewer has to make a selection from the pool of applicants selected for the interview. Confidence not cockiness is key! Good posture and smile starts as soon you walk into that building!
Vianca Gomez, I totally agree! Body language in an interview starts before someone’s stats theirs interview. Great comment. 👍
si patron
Vianca Gomez -Also, don’t overestimate the role of the receptionist when you get to the company. A powerful corporation I know of gets input from the receptionist about the candidates. Several candidates have been disqualified due to the receptionist comments about them. Others were hired in part because the receptionist also gave them good reviews.
Omg... we have the same first name 😂
Thank you for sharing this tips. It's could help me a lot.
Hi Heather your tipa are very inspiring. I have landed at my new Company finally. Thank you so much.
Always helpful information!! Thanks, Professor :)
Cassandra, thanks so much! I’m so glad you stopped by my channel. How are you?

I totally agree, great tips, Heather!
Hey, thanks Jessica. Glad you enjoyed this tips.

You are so amazing. I love your clarity. I'm listening from the standpoint of ... "why should you take my on-line course?" So this was very cool! And your editing.. HOLY WOW... particularly loved the end! How did you do that!? Great video on why should we hire you? ... just like... Why should you hire me and take my online course?!!!!! I like this way of looking at it. Thanks Heather!
I love the idea of looking at this interview question in terms of growing a business and selling a online course. What is the name of your course? When are you launching your course? We should talk. I would love to know your strategy.
Me too.. it was great..... The name of my course is 'Awaken through 1000 eyes' .... I plan to launch after labour day (in this moment that is the plan!) I'd love to talk with you... ... I'll message you on fb... :)
Wild Woman Enchanted, Super awesome! I’d love to chat with you. Message me when you can.
I lucked out on my last security interview all my boss asked was do you have a guard card? Do you have availability? Was hired on the spot
Yeah! Thanks sharing. I'm thrilled you were hired on the spot.
I have an interview next week Wednesday and I'm so nervous. Thank you for the pointers.
Interesting perspective!
Hi Jennifer! Thanks for watching.
thank you for the insight!!!!
You’re very welcome!
I have a interview tomorrow morning..hope it turns out well..thanks great video..❤
Fadwa Othman, thanks for watching. I wish you the very best with your interview.
Great thanks for the tips... saw your vid just at the right time ... 👍
professor Heather austin u are great I love you mam thank you so much
Great video! I realize that in my previous interviews I have shown my real personality and I was very fluent and passionate, but they did not hire me because of my english accent :/ Sometimes you do not match to some positions :(
Interviewer:Why should we hire you?
Me:Because your hiring.
lol!
In my previous position, I had the privilege of ensuring program success by motivating and driving my team to execute strategic planning so that we could reach client sales objectives.
Great Video!!! Need more of this thank you!

Hi there! Thank you for the kind words. I wish you all the best.
amazing video. thank you Heather :)
wow keep going . very helpful
My parents worked their asses off for us to have a better life and education not knowing their kids would suffer finding a job because they dont have work experiences.
Hi Heather! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. My parents did the same. I love your name btw!
Thank you so much for making this video. I am practising presume answers for employers' favourite interview questions now and this is helpful!
It might be popular but it is always scary! Thanks for the tips!
Ok. I'm sick of interviews and those questions. Interview does not say much about applicants skills, knowledge and value. It says more about how good is the applicant to make it through an interview. Someone who is looking for a job every year will probably make an interview better than someone who is looking for a job the second time in last 12 years...
Hi there Michal, I agree! These interview questions may not be the most effective, but hiring managers still use them. I wish you the very best on your interview. If you have any questions, let me know.
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin Hi,the video is really great,you can follow the structure independent on job you are applying for. The formulation of answers its a bit cultural ting -if we would apply it in several european countries it maybe seen as overconfident.
Understand when interviewing every candidate comes to the interview with the same skills. If I interview 10 people with the exact same skill set the only thing I have to set them apart is 1. How well they dress and 2. How they control the interview by answering the questions
3. Follow up email
That’s very true
I have interview every other week🤣
Great content! Helpful
This iis such a great suggestion in answering this interview question. Thank you ma'am love ya!😃
Hey again! Thanks for watching. So happy to hear you liked the tips. I wish you all the best on your upcoming interview. Keep me posted!

Could I also say “you should hire me because I’m confident that all of my skills and experiences is a perfect match for the job”.
Thank u for this... New subscriber from 🇵🇭
Hey there! So happy you subscribed. Welcome to the community my friend.

Interviewer: What is one positive thing about you?
Me: i have a good sense of humour.
I think i just f up my interview
Excellent explanations of the questions on 4 points
Glad you think so!
Thank you Maam. Share your Ideas.
From: Philippines
I wish all of our applicants would watch your videos before coming in here to apply for a job!
Hey, thank you my friend. I hope those that need these videos will find them.
My question is always "Why Should We Hire You?" actually why should I hire you. I think people forget they are just selling themselves. Confidence is key! The more interviews you go on the more you will feel comfortable. Research!!! Yes, I agree learn about the company and come in strong. It's easy to sell when you know what you are selling. (especially when it's yourself)
RVersity, you are absolutely spot on when it comes to answering this popular interview question. Thanks for stopping by.
I have a job interview next Tuesday, and it's my first job interview ever. I'm binge watching videos like this to make sure everything goes perfect😂❤
I wish you the very best on your interview. Keep me posted.
F**k the interview thing. Mam just wanted to that say your smile is just dope❣.
Omg really thank you so much
Hey, love your video! Quick question, how long should one take on this question if the interview is approximately 1 hour long? Thanks!
that's the question asked to me recently and i answered but can't make to pass because of my poor grammar and also the interviewer notice my face shaky.. he notice i felt a bit of nervous. actually i can express myself mostly via written and not on verbal. However, i knew that most often the interview is usually done via vocal/verbal. Aside from I am not fluent also in english language speaking.
Emma, I'm sorry to hear your last interview experience was not positive. Keep practicing. I promise, it will pay off. If you need additional interview prep tips, take a look at my interview prep video. This will help with your next interview. Good luck my friend. Here's the video: ua-cam.com/video/C8qp9mJ7gaw/v-deo.html
Oh my god u are just like me I have the same problem I am fine at writing but I don't know how I am at talking I never talked to someone in English because in my country we study in French and now I may pass a teat for a multinational company and I need English .please tell me how u are doing to develop ur vocal skills .and I wish u good luck .
Hi there! Thanks for sharing your experience. Have you had the chance to look at other channels that teach how to speak better English? If you need some recommendations, I have some friends that can help you.
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin thank you so so much for responding .it is the first time I see your Chanel .and yes I need help .again thank you.
