How to Answer Interview Questions About Why You Should Be Hired
如何回答你為什么會被雇用的面試問題

The best way to respond is to give concrete examples of why your skills and accomplishments make you the best candidate for the job.
最好的回答方法是給出具體的例子，為什么你的技能能讓你成為這項工作的最佳候選人。

Take a few moments to compare the job description with your abilities, as well as mentioning what you have accomplished in your other positions. Be positive and reiterate your interest in the company and the position. Here's how to prepare your response.
花一些時間比較職位描述和你自身的能力，以及你在其他崗位完成了什么工作。積極地重申你對公司這個崗位的興趣。下面告訴你如何準備你的回答。

Match Your Qualifications to the Job Listing
把你的條件和工作要求相匹配

To prepare an answer to this question, look at the job listing. Make a list of the requirements for the position, including personality traits, skills, and qualifications. Then, make a list of the qualities you have that fit these requirements. For each quality, think of a specific time that you used that trait to achieve something at work.
要準備這個問題的答案，先來看看工作要求。把崗位需求列一份清單，包括個人特征、技能本領以及資格條件。然后，把自己適合該需求的品質列一份清單。對于每個品質，想一個具體的時間出來，在這段時間內(nèi)你運用該特質完成了一些工作。

For example, if you list that you are a “team player,” think of a time in which your ability to work well on a team resulted in a successfully completed project.
比如，如果你列出自己是一個“具有團隊精神的人”，那就想出一個具體的時間，在這期間你在團隊中運用自己的能力成功完成了項目。

Keep it Concise
保持簡潔

You want your answer to be brief—no more than a minute or two long.
你想讓自己的答案簡潔——不要超過一兩分鐘的長度。

Therefore, select one or two specific qualities from the list you created to emphasize in your “sales pitch.” Begin by explaining what you believe the employer is looking for, and how you fulfill that need.
因此，從你列的表中選擇一個或兩個具體的品質來強調你的“銷售說辭”。你可以從闡述了解雇主的需求開始，以及你如何滿足他們的需求。

Focus on Your Uniqueness
專注于你的獨特

The interviewer wants to know how you stand out among the other applicants.
面試官想知道你如何在其他候選人中脫穎而出。

Therefore, focus on one or two qualities you possess that might be unique, or more difficult to find, in other interviewees. For example, if you are very experienced with a certain skill that the job requires, say so. This is your chance to tell the interviewer why you would be an invaluable employee.
因此，專注于你擁有的一個或兩個特別的品質，或者其他面試者很難具有的品質。比如，如果你在工作要求的一個特定技能上經(jīng)驗豐富，就明白地說出來。這是告訴面試官你是好員工的一個機會。
