Leaving the comfort of your college corridors, your close-knit squad, and venturing into the professional life is always daunting. As a fresher, it can be difficult to answer tricky interview questions. However, the most dreaded question you get asked for sure is—Why should we hire you if you don’t have the experience? Don’t stress, I have cracked the code for you!
There are three things that you should keep in mind while answering this question as a fresher. Scroll down to find out:
Talk About The Company Values
Before going for any interview, take your time to research the company’s values and vision. Then use these things in your answer. For example: “I believe your company truly values creative thinking and commitment to work. I am sure my profile reflects that I hold the same values and I can fit in well in the structure.” Here are a few more tips that can be helpful:
Talk About Your Skills
Any interview is all about putting your best foot forward. When you are facing the question of why you should be selected, talk yourself up. Take a look at this example: “My positive attitude, will to learn and grow, work ethic and long-term goals align with the job requirements, making me a committed and valuable asset to the company.” Don’t oversell yourself but make sure you sound confident.
Talk About Why It Is Better To Hire A Fresher
You can use being a fresher as a positive while appearing for a job interview. Speak up about how as a newcomer in the field, you can be moulded in the best way possible. “Everyone needs a platform to showcase their skills and so do I. As a fresher, I will look at everything with a fresh pair of eyes, which can be an asset to your brand. All I need is a chance to prove myself and I am sure you can mould me in the best version of myself.“
That’s all you need to remember newbies! I wish you all best for your first step towards adulting.
