Many interviewers will also specifically ask you to make your case with one of these questions:

• Why should we hire you?
• Why are you the best candidate for the job?
• Why are you the right fit for the position?
• What would you bring to the position?

To close the deal on a job offer, you MUST be prepared with a concise summary of the top reasons to choose you. Even if your interviewer doesn’t ask one of these question in so many words, you should have an answer prepared and be looking for ways to communicate your top reasons throughout the interview process. 

Spend some time doing the following:

1. Listing your skills and strengths.
2. Writing CAR stories (Challenges, Actions, and Results) about accomplishments for each of your jobs.
3. Documenting your accomplishments.
4. Uncovering what makes you special by reviewing letters of recommendation and/or other testimonials you may have from work, school, and volunteering.
5. Writing down concrete answers to questions like this that give a concrete example to prove you fit the bill!

Someone applying for a position as an administrative assistant might say:

"I have been using Word, Excel, and Outlook since to maintain both financial and administrative records, create and distribute internal reports for management to monitor employee activity and asset usage which was received by4 senior managers including the CEO and COO, and create and distribute the internal organizational newsletter which was sent to over staff members twice a month.

"The financial reports were created and maintained using Excel, and both newsletters were written using Microsoft Word, using templates that I developed, and distributed using Outlook.

"I have taken several workshops on Microsoft Office products, and have worked with the newest version and previous versions, going back to the version. So, I am very comfortable with the Microsoft Office suite of products."

Or, in a more traditional situation, here’s what you might prepare to say as a new graduate of a medical transcription training program applying for a job with a cardiology practice:

"I believe that I will be successful in this position because I have hours of hands-on training in medical transcription in a classroom environment at the XYZ Institute.

(Get out your portfolio, and open it to a print out of a sample of your work). "Here you can see several examples of medical records, dictation, and reports I have produced in MS Word.

"I have also excelled in my terminology courses, gaining a strong base in numerous disciplines.

"However, I have always been interested in Cardiology and made it a personal goal to focus on that area. Because of that, I read the Journal of Cardiology to stay up-to-date with changes in the field, names of new pharmaceuticals, and other innovations.

"I have an excellent basis in the discipline to transcribe the records of your Cardiologists with ease. Also, I recently joined the American Association of Medical Transcriptionists and am already taking steps to pursue certification."

Prior to the interview you should have done your homework I.e. match your qualifications & experience with the job profile offered.
