They love asking this question during the job interviews so chances are high you will be asked this question too. What would be your answer if you had this question?
If you feel confident that you can do the job after reading the job description then you can answer this question easily by saying I am the best person for the job.
Be able to back this up though – how are you the best person? Bear in mind that you won’t be the only interview. What advantages do you have over other people who you do not even know?
Tell them that your abilities are exactly the right match for the role as you see it, your years of experience or your recent course/degree will help as it has given you the relevant experience for the role.
Look carefully at what the job involves. EG: if the jobs main skills are communication then tell them that you are an excellent communicator.
Tell the interviewer that as well as your experiences you are:
- Dedicated
- Motivated
- Enthusiastic
- Determined
- Loyal
- Trustworthy
- A good team player
You need to try and show your interviewer that you will be a good asset to their company.
Example Answer
I have always wanted to work as an exhibition designer for a museum that embraces cultural changes and provides a sensory experience for its visitors. My degree helped me to develop key artistic and organisational skills, while the experience that I gained from working at my local museum has been the ideal preparation for a career in this field. I would relish the opportunity to be part of the team that works on the concepts for your upcoming exhibits and collections.
