Think back to your last interview: Where you asked the question...WHY SHOULD I HIRE YOU? If you answered I'm hardworking, dependable, team player, result-oriented or a fast learner, you failed to answer the question.

You have not said anything different than the last 100 candidates seen by the same Human Resource Professional or Hiring Manager whose office you just left.
