面试：为什么我该聘用你（3）

"Why should I hire you?" “为什么我该聘用你？”

This is the classic question most of us hear during an interview. It's often preceded by the phrase, "I've already interviewed another person for this position who looks perfect." Then comes the killer question, "Why should I hire YOU?" 这是大多数人在面试中都遇到过的一个经典问题。面试官往往会这样说：“我已经面试过另一位想获得这个职位的人。他/她看上去很不错。”然后就是这个要命的问题：“为什么我得聘用你？”

要展示你的成绩，就得讲故事。故事不是那么好讲的，你的多加练习才行。

Tell It Often 经常练习

Knowing this ahead of time, it's wise to put in the time beforehand to work on your answer to this question. Pick your best example of how you went above and beyond in your job. Work on your story to perfect it. Set the scene, describe the challenge and describe your role and the successful conclusion. Use this as an example of how you use your particular set of skills in an extraordinary time to "give it your all" and produce a clear benefit to your employer. 既然已经知道这个问题，聪明做法是提前练习作答。选择一个最能说明你如何在工作中超水平、超范围发挥的例子。通过练习来让回答变得完美。设定好情景，描述你遇到的挑战和你的角色，以及最终的成功。用这个例子展现你在不寻常的时刻怎样利用自己的能力“竭尽全力”给雇主带来了明显的利益。

Since no other candidate can duplicate your own personal story here, you'll make a memorable impression. Not only that, but quite possibly you'll pull yourself ahead of that "perfect" candidate who preceded you. 由于别人的故事不可能和你的一模一样，所以你会给面试官一个深刻的印象。不但如此，很可能你还会超过此前某位“完美”的应试者。
