I shall own my role <\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n1. I know the brand <\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n <\/div>\nEveryone will advise you to do your homework before going to an interview – this is where it comes in handy. Show interest in the organisation by reading up on the latest news, periodic reports, products and service offerings on the website, and think about how you\u2019ll enhance the organisation\u2019s initiatives through your role. Visualising yourself as winning with the organisation shows genuine interest. <\/span><\/div>\n <\/div>\nSample response: \u201cThis morning\u2019s Mint mentions ABC (name of hiring company)\u2019s plans for expansion in the South geography in the coming months. Having studied and then worked the said geographies, I have a deep market understanding of the specific locations. Moreover, having worked on a similar project for another brand in the similar space, I will be able to bring some useful insights to enhance value for the end customer.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\n <\/div>\nThis one\u2019s elementary for \u201cWhy should we hire you?\u201d. \u201cI qualify on all tangible grounds!\u201d Show off your skills, qualifications, experience, legacy, personal fit from an attitude-background-personality trait perspective. <\/span><\/div>\n <\/span><\/div>\nSample response:<\/span> \u201cIn the past [x] years, I\u2019ve gained the experience and skills you need for this role. Whether it is the requisite communication or teamwork abilities, or the knowledge base and cognizance of my own shortcomings and overcoming them, I have what it takes to contribute to the organisation tirelessly. If I\u2019m taken on for the role, you can rest assured I shall give it my 100% and make a productive resource for the company.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\n
\n\n <\/div>\nVoice your belief in self and how your potential and personal goals align with the organisation\u2019s objectives. As the face of an organisation, you must identify with their values, but stand out as a representative of its name to the outside world. <\/span><\/div>\n <\/div>\nSample response:<\/span> \u201cRelevant qualifications and my skillset aside, the values and beliefs of this company speak to me principally. To me that is an important aspect of enthusiastic work. I see a seamless marriage of minds between this organisation and my own sense of ownership. Having said that, I\u2019m also a thinking person, so there\u2019s no doubt that in my interactions as a face of this company, I will showcase an intelligent as well as aligned employee.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\n
\n\n <\/div>\nDemonstrate commitment to the organisation for the long haul. Typically, the organisation invests in you not only in terms of assets and operations, but also training and welfare. In return, it is only fair that they expect you to invest your time and passion and show your sense of belonging. <\/span><\/div>\n <\/div>\nSample response: \u201cAs a professional seeking long-term stability, I know that this organisation will invest in my growth just as I will in achieving its long-term goals. Given its ambitious roadmap, I see a lot of learning in it for me and I\u2019m willing to do what it takes to plough that superior understanding of the industry and my area back into its growth.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\n
\n <\/div>\nYour sense of ownership is questioned when an interviewer asks, \u201cWhy we should hire you?\u201d. Tell her or him just how you intend to contribute to the organisation\u2019s growth in response. And the answer must transcend qualifications – talk about your own high standards of output, and the values and learning of the organisation that resonate with your personal ambitions and values. <\/span><\/div>\n <\/div>\nSample response: \u201cWhen you talk to my previous reporting superiors, they will all endorse my dedication and initiative in my roles. I\u2019ve always striven to set a high bar for my role, and don\u2019t stop just because a target may be achieved or a task completed. I put in a lot of thought into the next few steps and the ultimate motive for why I do what I do. Hiring me for this role would earn you a future leader, and not just a work horse.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
