12 Nov 09 Why should we hire you? – NaPodPoMo Day 12

As part of NaPodPoMo, I’m releasing a video (preferred) or audio (if needed) segment every day in November 2009, where I’m practicing answering a typical interviewing question.  Will my answers be perfect? Probably not.  This experiment has the following objectives:

• Practice answering typical interviewing questions
• Produce content for the internet on a consistent basis
• Develop some rudimentary skill in video production

Here, then, for your enjoyment, is the next installment of the series, as Day 12 of 30:

Why should we hire you?

Special thanks to Barbara (@BarbaraKB) for suggesting the related question on Twitter: “What do you uniquely offer our company?”

The background music for this series is called “Dodging Buses” by Derek K. Miller. Check out his Penmachine Podcast.
