Imagine you're being interviewed for a position at CrazyEngineers. It doesn't matter what discipline you belong to and what role you're being chosen for, so pick up any of your choice. The interviewer has made up his/her mind to select you but needs to be very confident about the decision. So, the interviewer asks you -
"Tell me, why should we hire you?"
Post your answers. Let's see what you come up with. We'll then analyze your responses and find out how to answer such questions in actual interviews.
PS: I'd recommend you to compose your own answer before reading what others have said.

Well, I may not be able to say exactly why should you hire me but I could definitely say how I could strive for the company. I enjoy doing work, passionate about learning new things and adaptable. I believe everybody does this. But the race is about how fast you do that and I can assure you that I can do it in best way.
Just give me chance, I will prove it! 😀

Sir, I am a very passionate person not only about work, but life in general. Whatever work I do I intend to do my best in it and try to achieve best results. My career goals are pretty much in line with the profile your company has offered and as a result I will be highly enthusiastic as well as motivated to accomplish the expected performance by the company.
What say?

A typical interviewer would love to hear the summary of positive points you've mentioned (your skills, knowledge, passion for subjects/technology, experience etc.) through your answer. Be humble and say "I believe I've performed well through the interview so far however I could have been better. (Use your own judgment while saying that!). It'd be my pride to work with your organization and I'll try my best handle the responsibilities and tasks allotted to me. I believe that with my current knowledge of <technologies or tools > I can get started and pick up new things on the job."
Of course you should NOT repeat this verbatim in interview and use your own answer. Just don't make suggestions to the Interviewer like "I am the best for the job" or "I am better than others" or "I'm perfect for the job". Say what you believe and let the Interviewers make the decision.

My answer , I dont recollect it perfectly but this is the summary of my answer.
Q: Why should we hire you?
A: Well, I am good at communication skills, and I am a quick learner. I am passionate about computers (this is lie) and technologies (again lie). I have a positive approach , so whatever the situation it is I think and I am sure that I will come out of it.!!
Next Q: Tell me what you know about computers?
This was an unexpected question , however I have answered this saying all about it what I know.
Next Q: What technologies you know?
I only know the names of Java, Dot Net thats at not even Cobol or pascal.
But , he selected me on that day though.

@Saandeep Sreerambatla • 07 Jan, 2011
I would just say,
JAVA = J A V A , I mean I would have just spelled them.
Actually I said I know those technologies by names and the question was also the same.
I guess I have confused you guys,.

@Ankita Katdare • 08 Jan, 2011
Do you mean they will select you if you give that reply?
@Saandeep Sreerambatla • 08 Jan, 2011
I was a fresher by then and only questions on C are to be asked.
No not at all, actually the question was what you know by names literally, not by coding or understanding perspective.AbraKaDabraDo you mean they will select you if you give that reply?

How would a candidate know what the hiring company is expecting? I'd consider it as over-confidence.SomiI found this reply in a site...

@narayana murthy • 20 Jan, 2011
@somi how can you consider yourself as you had all the qualities
no will have all the qualities
its impossible

@optimystix • 21 Jan, 2011
guess you read the point that biggie made..
and isn't your own answer assertive enough ?narayana murthy@somi how can you consider yourself as you had all the qualities

@Somi • 22 Jan, 2011
Well see the company has given an advertisement stating its eligibility criteria.So if a candidate has the required qualifications and has been able to answer the questions asked in the intervies then he is right in saying that what your company wants i have those criteria, then why NOT me?
@narayana murthy • 22 Jan, 2011
@somi:in my view company needed only some mandatory qualities not all the qualities
if you say as i had all the qualities they test your qualities by speaking to you so if you dont any quality as you said above that may be more dangerous
so i believe as it will not better and i also believe mentioning qualities you had will better than saying i had all the qualities your company needed
@CEans:correct me if i am wrong

because you need an employee and i need a job...
@Kaustubh Katdare • 30 Jan, 2011
Got the point? Don't use that response in interview.
...the focus is on the word 'you' If the recruiters were to hire just for the sake of having employees - they'd hire any average Joe without even interviewing him.ece_er9because you need an employee and i need a job...
