Why should I hire you? 為何我該聘用你？

This is the classic question most of us hear during an interview. It's often preceded by the phrase, I've already interviewed another person for this position who looks perfect. Then comes the killer^{1 question, Why should I hire YOU? 這是大部分人在面試中都遇見過的一個經典問題。面試官總是會如此說：我已經面試過另一位想獲得這個職位的人。他/她看起來很好。然后就是這個要命的問題：為何我得聘用你？}

除去要展示你和別的面試者不同的特質，你還需要展示你的成績，這才有說服力。

Demonstrate Your Accomplishments^{2 展示你的成績}

Realize that there will always be competing candidates with a higher skill level, more experience, more education/training, or even a smoother interviewing style. The one equalizer though, is the ability to demonstrate how you have risen above and gone that extra mile to accomplish an important task, complete the job or realize an important goal. 要意識到角逐者中肯定有人比你水平更高、經驗更多、教育/培訓程度更高，甚至有更順利的面試風格。一個能叫你和他們達到同一水平的辦法是展示自己是如何嶄露頭角、付出更多，圓滿完成某項要緊任務、健全工作或達成要緊目的。

Here, you recant that story of exactly how you worked 60-hour weeks, acquired new skills, or whatever it took to distinguish yourself and meet the challenge head on to successfully make the sale, save the project or rescue a client. If you can monetize the end result, your story will only be that much more dramatic. 這里，你不要講一周工作60小時，如何學習新技能，或者其他任何叫你出眾的故事；而是要說一說怎么樣直面挑戰，成功地做成了一單銷售、挽救了一個項目或一個顧客。當你能給結果賦上一個價值，你的故事就會有力的多。
