When pitching to a company why it should hire you, there are a few things the company doesn't want to hear. First, it doesn't want you to tell them what you think it wants to hear. Second, it doesn't want you to repeat back to it, word for word, what it has advertised in its recruitment efforts, or what it has detailed the company is looking for on the website. Third, the company doesn't want you to just tell it that you are great or the right person for the job. These do nothing to separate you from any other candidate saying the same thing.

Rather, what they want from you are two things. First, they want you to show them, not tell them, through an actionable answer, that you've prepared for this interview, are excited about this opportunity, and have a strong work ethic. How well you've prepared will reveal your work ethic. By giving an actionable answer, they'll be better equipped to believe you are who you say you are. And secondly, they want you to tell them the truth. When you are telling the truth, and your answers are sincere, they'll believe that you believe in what you are saying.
