And today, I am going to answer the question "Why should I hire you?"

さて今日は、「何故あなたを採用すべきなのか？」という質問についてお答えしたいと思います。

Exactly the way I do in my book "The Complete Interview Answer Guide".

『Complete Interview Answer Guide』と同様の内容です。

Now this is often the last question you will be asked in an interview.

さて、面接時に必ず最後に聞かれる質問ですね。

Prepare for it.

しっかり準備しておかなければ。

I mean this is your chance to restate the skills you possess that are most relevant to the position,

このポジションに関係したあなたのスキルを再度面接官に伝え、自分がその仕事にピッタリであるとアピールするチャンスです。

and to summarize your other qualities that make you the perfect person for the job.

I want you to outline your answer before you go in, and so that you can answer clearly, concisely, and with confidence.

入室する前によく概要を描いておきましょう。

Your answer should be short, to the point, it should reflect your profession, your background as it relates to the current needs and the problems of the position.

そうすることで明確に、簡潔に、自信を持って回答することができますから。

Review the job description, and tell them how you are the right person for the job by matching up your skill set with each bullet point for the job description.

Also, show them that you have the skills needed for the job.

一つ目。このポジションにおける企業側の目標。

Based on the goals, you've identified in step one, determine how your skills and experience support these goals and if necessary, you know, just refer back to your list of skills.

企業やそのポジションについてリサーチしていく中で浮かび上がって来るはずです。

Thirdly, articulate shared values.

出来れば、その会社で働いている人と話してみましょう。

Again, this should come up in your research, look at the company's mission statement and regular business practices, explain why these are in line with your own values and goals.

Be sure, that the interviewer is clear about the fact that you want this job,

企業側の目標に基づくこと。これでステップ・ワンは通過しました。

I mean the most important aspect of doing this exercise, is to make you comfortable in identifying and articulating the skills you possess.

I mean you may need to modify the specifics based on the situation.

必要に応じて彼らの目標にどのように貢献できるか。あなたのスキル・リストに立ち戻ってください。

Now, if an important issue comes up during the interview, be prepared to adapt your answer accordingly.

三つ目。共通価値を明言しましょう。

I mean for instance, if the interviewer stresses the need for a certain skill you would want to address that, even if it was not one of the skills that you included on you resume.

それらが何故、あなた自身の価値観や目標と一致するのか説明するのです。

There you go. Answer that question in ten seconds and you can do the same.
