Today, I had a job interview. All was going well until the interviewer asked me, "So, why should we hire you?" Without thinking, I blurted out, "Because, I'm awesome!" Don't think I'll be getting that one. FML

Hey, OP here. After I said that, the interviewer busted out laughing- so there's a plus. She also said something along the lines of "Ya know, nobody says that sort of thing. Usually it's the boring 'I really need a job' type. But not you!" And laughed some more. I really need this job though, I've applied everywhere and this place is the first to call me. I won't know if I got it or not until next week, so I'm crossing my fingers!

That should be more than enough to give you the job.

I actually used that once during an interview and I got the job, so don't lose hope yet.

That explains why I didn't get hired either. It's ok OP, we're too awesome for their jobs

I actually did this exact thing just over 2 and a half years ago. I got that job. Anyone who wouldn't hire you for that little answer is probably someone you don't want to work for anyway.
