THE VIRTUAL INTERVIEW

ANSWER #1

Question: Why are you the best person for the job?

  1. Incorrect: May denote an inability to sustain consistent performance. Experience is good; however, "a lot of jobs" is not.

  2. Incorrect: This is a confident answer but too vague. You will be expected to support your answers with examples and you must be diplomatic. This may come across sounding arrogant.

  3. Incorrect: This is a pleasant, flattering statement but sounds self serving. Always position your answering with some give and take. Describe what you can offer the employer.

  4. This is the best answer. Acknowledging the need and giving a supported answer is the best tactic here.

Go to question #2.
