Why should we hire you to be our athletic trainer?
"I'm qualified and passionate about helping people to move and stay active. I am excited about the idea of delivering health to your athletes and will hustle for the opportunity to go above and beyond for your facility."
"You should hire me because I am unlike anyone else you have interviewed before. When I started my current company, I was the youngest athletic trainer they had ever hired. That didn't stop me from becoming the #1 trainer in the company within six months. I am dedicated to my craft and engaged in this industry to the point where I commit myself to taking at least one professional development or leadership related workshop every business quarter. I am a competitive achiever. You won't be disappointed when you hire me."
The interviewer would like to know what makes you a stand-out candidate. Why should they choose you? Tell the interviewer all of the star qualities that make you an unforgettable candidate.
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! These stand-out qualities 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.
"I am the best athletic trainer for you because I come with the exact experience that you are looking for in your job posting. I have exposure being an athletic trainer to elite athletes and have additional experience working side by side with physicians."
