1. Why should we hire you as our next Chef?
How to Answer
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 could include any industry accolades, special 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 strongest advocate.

Answer Example
"You should hire me because I am unlike anyone else you have interviewed before. When I started with my current company, I was the youngest chef they had ever hired. That didn't stop me from becoming the #1 performing chef through all of their 13 locations. I am dedicated to my craft, and engaged in this industry to the point where I commit myself to taking at least one cuisine related workshop every quarter. I am a competitive achiever. You won't be disappointed when you hire me."
