“Why should we hire you?” is one of the most common interview questions for freshers. Many candidates become nervous because they do not know how to answer without sounding overconfident.
The purpose of this question is simple. The interviewer wants to know whether your skills, attitude and career goals match the job role. As a fresher, you do not need to show years of experience. You need to show confidence, learning ability, communication skills and willingness to contribute.
