When an interviewer asks why you are the best candidate or why they should hire you over the other applicants, they want to hear what makes you unique and how hiring you will benefit their company. When responding, you should sell yourself in a way that makes the interviewer want to hire you over others. Highlight your experience, enthusiasm, and professionalism, and let them know you have the qualities they are looking for in a Roofer. Use keywords from the job description to show the interviewer you have the exact traits they want in an employee.

Avoid sounding cocky or arrogant when responding to this question. Sell yourself, but in a humble way. Also, you should avoid talking poorly about the other candidates who may be just as qualified as you.
