INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A detailed answer and analysis of a tough interview question from Matt & Nan DeLuca, authors of the best selling "Best Answers to the 201 Most Frequently Asked Interview Questions" and "More Best Answers to the 201 Most Frequently Asked Interview Questions"

What can you add to what we have already asked you that should make us want to hire you?

Think grocery shopping...all those brands in the soap aisle begging for your attention.  Each one comes with its own key selling points.

Remember the comics, Superman?  On TV, he sold himself...stronger than a locomotive, faster than a speeding bullet, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

What are your key selling points?  Plan this out ahead of time for the next interview...or include in a thank you letter for this past interview.   Think a 1 minute infomercial about yourself.  What are your core strengths?   Is it communicating with children, being a mentor to other teachers, being able to keep topics current and interesting. . .
