Nuit de fête
Le soleil du matin se lève sur la clairière; les invités dorment à poings fermés. Charlotte et Monsieur Hibou ont partagé le gâteau et le dévorent avec délice.
- Quelle belle fête et quel délicieux gâteau! déclare Charlotte, ravie.
Monsieur Sanglier s'éveille en grognant et observe les deux gourmands.
- Charlotte, dit-il, je vous souhaite de vivre très longtemps. Mais je me demande combien de nuits et de jours il faudra compter pour fêter votre centième anniversaire.

Histoire 50 - Nuit de fête

Believe me; you want to hear the job interview question, "Why should we hire you?" It's your chance to cut through the noise and tell them exactly what is unique about you.

While you cannot possibly know other applicants' qualifications, you can sell yourself to the best of your ability, stating the things that would make you really great at the job, and convincing the hiring manager you're ready to hit the ground running

In this episode, we’ll quickly revisit your three goals in every job interview, since these goals will influence every answer and every interaction you have during the interview. You’ll then learn why employers ask, “Why should we hire you?”, hear how one of my clients who got a job offer answered the question, and get tips on how to answer it. You'll land your dream job in no time!
