Interview Preparation & Interview Questions
During interview it is important that jobseekers stand out in the crowd and get noticed. This can be the difference between getting the job and not. There are many opportunities for the interviewee to stand out at interview but often interviewers will provide you with the opportunity by asking a related question. At interview employers want to know why you are different and what makes you special. This patenting interview question can come in many forms and I have outlined one of the more popular versions.
What can you do for us that other candidates can’t?
This is a popular question at interview and it is basically asking you to outline your unique selling points (USP) or outline what makes you stand out from other applicants. You will have identified this information during your interview preparation and self assessment and your USP’s could be skills, personality traits, qualifications, previous work experience that will help you stand out from other applications? Answer this question in a structured summary format. Many jobseekers tend to ramble more in the hope that they say something relevant that strikes a cord with the interviewer. They blurb the usual stuff like hardworking, energetic with the ability to work in a team or on own initiative. Judging from most CV’s I read this is not unique!!
