- Many people make the mistake of thinking the why are you good fit for this role question should only focus on what you bring to the table.
2
Well, that is certainly a part of it.
3
We'll see in this video that adding an honest, selfish element to your answer, will help you come off as more genuine and memorable.
4
So let's get started.
5
such as why should we hire you?
6
And what makes you a good candidate?
7
But they're all really trying to uncover the same three things.
8
Number one, what can you bring to the role?
9
Number two, what you are trying to get out of it?
10
And number three, what makes you unique?
11
You should definitely address all three of these underlying questions, but you want to make sure your answer is structured with the right proportions as well.
12
In my experience, 50% of your answer should be dedicated to one.
13
30 percent of the time spent on two, and the remaining 20% left for three.
14
Let's start breaking each one of these down.
15
Starting with the first part of your answer, what can you bring to the role?
16
You want to spend the most time on this part because this is where you get to match a strength of yours to the job requirement.
17
In other words, your value proposition.
18
First, you want to do some research, and this is where it gets interesting.
19
A small trick I like to use when reading through the job description is to copy and paste all the text into a free word cloud generator to see which words or phrases come up the most frequently.
20
While the job description doesn't usually paint a complete picture of the role, this gives you a great starting point to see which one of your experiences are most relevant.
21
For the next step, if you already have experience in the area you have identified, perfect.
22
Mention how the new role represents a new challenge for you and how you're looking to further grow your expertise in that particular field.
23
If on the other hand, you are a fresh grad or working professional looking to move to another industry altogether, you want to highlight relevant attributes that are transferable to the new role.
24
In other words, if you have relevant work experience, double down on it.
25
If you don't, mention skills you have developed that will help you succeed in the new position.
26
Finally, because 50% of your answer is allocated to this first part, you can have a full story prepared using the star format.
27
If you're not familiar with star or need a quick refresher, feel free to check out my behavioral interview video linked down below.
28
So for example, let's say I'm applying for a position at Tesla and totally not because of their latest stock price or anything.
29
The job post on LinkedIn is that of a manager position and their global operations team.
30
I copy and paste all the text in their job description to a free workout generator that I'll also link down below.
31
And here are some of the key words that stand out team, global team, supply chain, logistics, system implementation, new process.
32
For me, my supply chain experience is limited to tracking my package on Amazon.
33
So that's not really an area I can speak to.
34
But I do manage a team and I do optimize a lot of internal processes in my current role as a B2B product marketer.
35
So my answer, I probably highlight my leadership abilities and give examples on internal processes I work on right now and how those experiences might be applicable to this new role.
36
If you found this first part helpful, drop a like and comment down below or whether the word cloud tip is something you're planning to use.
37
On to the second part of your answer.
38
What do you want to take away from this role?
39
Many candidates are hesitant to say what they want to get out of the job because they think the answer should just be about pitching themselves to the company.
40
But the thing is, by saying what you are selfishly looking for, not only does it help you come up as more authentic, but it shows the interviewer that you have done the research.
41
Because otherwise you wouldn't know about the specifics in the first place.
42
For example, when I was interviewing for my initial role at Google, the account manager position in the sales team, I specifically mentioned how I get a rush from seeing my clients immediately adopt my recommendations in their Google Ads accounts.
43
This was a big deal for me because of my previous management consulting position, it took weeks or even months to see the fruits of my labor.
44
But in a sales position at Google, I saw it almost immediately.
45
Short term dopamine addiction aside, my answer showed the hiring manager that number one, Jeff is pretty results driven, since he's excited about the impact that he's made.
46
Number two, Jeff has done the research to know that part of the job revolves around the Google Ads platform and number three, he is a genuine person for admitting part of the reason he's applying is for the dopamine hit that he gets.
47
If you're having trouble with this part, it's helpful to think about the ideal end result if you were to get the job.
48
What would happen if you did the job really well?
49
Would you feel some personal satisfaction like I do?
50
Would you be able to further grow in your area of expertise?
51
Would you be able to build connections in a space that you're unable to before?
52
For example, I know some legal counsels who start off in corporate law, that went on to join tech companies because they want a more practical experience about the laws regulating the Internet and technology space.
53
Final tip for this part is to find someone working in the role that you're applying for, and asking them whether they're happy with their job.
54
If yes, why?
55
Their answer might give you some inspiration.
56
By the way, I have a Facebook group where I share weekly tips.
57
Consider joining if you haven't already.
58
I'll link it down below.
59
Finally, closing out your answer with something unique about you.
60
The reason for this is very simple and slightly superficial.
61
And that's to make you memorable in the mind of the interviewer.
62
There are two ways to go about this.
63
Number one, mention something truly unique or at least uncommon about you and how that relates to the role you're applying for.
64
Or number two, mention a common strength and give a memorable example.
65
For me, I spent half my life in the US and half around Greater China.
66
While this background doesn't even make me close to being a unique special snowflake, I could and I did mention how my international upbringing would benefit a multinational company like Google, or I should mention how I'm proactive which is a common strength and give the memorable example that to better engage my clients, I went out of my way to create how to videos when I was still in the sales team.
67
So to quickly recap.
68
Your answer to the why are you good fit for this role question, should address all three points, the interviewer wants to uncover.
69
Number one, what can you bring to the role?
70
Number two, what do you want to get out of it?
71
And number three, what makes you unique?
72
Similar to the tell me about yourself question, limit your answer to two, to two and a half minutes while allocating 50% of your time to point one, 30 percent to point two, and the remaining 20% to point three,

本片段的口语练习目标
这段视频适合想要提升英语口语练习（尤其是面试场景表达）的学习者，目标是掌握清晰、有结构的回答逻辑，同时让表达更自然、有记忆点。无论是准备雅思口语练习还是日常职场面试，都能通过模仿其叙事节奏和内容框架，突破“生硬背诵”的瓶颈，实现更流畅、更有感染力的表达。
实用短语库
- value proposition（价值主张）
- transferable skills（可迁移技能）
- star format（STAR法则，即情境、任务、行动、结果）
- immediate adoption（立即采纳）
- fruits of labor（劳动成果）
如何通过影子跟读提升表达
视频中提到的面试回答技巧，恰好是英语影子跟读（shadow speak）的优质素材。影子跟读时，可重点关注以下两点：一是节奏把控，比如“50%用于阐述价值、30%讲个人收获、20%突出独特性”的结构，需模仿其轻重缓急；二是自然语气，像“short term dopamine addiction aside”这种口语化表达，要注意连读和弱读。
练习时，先逐句跟读，确保每个短语（如“transferable attributes”）发音准确；再整段复述，感受“真诚表达个人动机”时的语气变化。这不仅能提升雅思口语练习中的逻辑清晰度，还能让英语口语练习更贴近真实交流场景。试试用视频中的示例（如特斯拉面试回答）进行影子跟读，你会发现自己的表达越来越流畅、有说服力。
记住，影子跟读的关键是“同步理解+模仿”，而非机械重复。通过视频中的实用案例，你既能掌握面试技巧，又能悄悄提升口语能力——这就是“一举两得”的学习方法！
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
