2. Why should we hire you?
How to Answer
Interviewers want to hear about that one unique skill that sets you apart from the other candidates applying for this job. Think of your answer as your 'elevator pitch' or your qualifying statement. If you can't think of ways that you are unique, ask a few friends or family members what they feel sets you apart from other people. Their observations may help you understand how you are perceived.
Perhaps you already know what sets you apart! This skill could include any industry accolades, exceptional achievements, additional industry related training, a second language, or how involved you are in the community. Don't be afraid to brag about yourself a bit. In an interview, you are your most influential advocate.

"When I read the job description, I smiled because it was as though you wrote it with me in mind. I have three years dedicated to exceeding my project targets, and I know a lot about data visualization for the SaaS industry. Also, I was the fastest promoted in my previous position and have led the rollout of new technical products in my current job, making me ideally positioned to help you continue to build your product offering, and exceed financial metrics. Not to mention, I am looking for a company that I can stay with for the long haul, something that you said Looker values as well."
