When asked the question, “why should we hire you,” we all want to spit out the same, generic response: “Because I can do a good job and I am hard-working and I am a good worker and if you don’t, I will feel rejected for the 100th time so please HIRE ME.”
And while that may sort of true, I will provide you three new reasons why you should “go with the O.”
-
- Confidence in what I love to do. Having come from a generalist marketing position where I’ve worked in a multitude of roles and specializations (social media, digital, grassroots, B2B networking, email marketing, account management, business development), I have found my calling: social media. You won’t be bringing me onto your team for one thing, only to find that I am looking to switch over to a different department.
- I’m still in my cultivation phase. Although I have been able to gain valuable experience since beginning my career, I am a learner. I am looking to join a company that wants to continue developing its workers, even the most senior digital guy on the team. I want to learn from the best, and complement my own expertise with that of the people who have been at this for years.
- Social media design goes beyond the day-to-day for me. Creating art in a business page, something that speaks to someone else, that’s what inspires me. The campaigns that make a lasting impact are those that make you want to meet the team that created them – the ones I want to tip my hat to. That’s what I hope to be a part of.
