ive had this question thrown at me a few times and i finally came up with the best answer.

why should we hire you?

"aside from being qualified and motivated for this position, if you hire me, im saving you the time and effort of having to interview other candidates."

can you top that?

Here on Elite trader we don't go to things like job interviews. We trade for a living. Well, at least a couple do.

Quote from tomahawk:

An employer's attitude will be that extra time taken to hire JUST THE RIGHT PERSON is time well worth spending.

(Edit) How 'bout this? ...

"You should hire me because on the remote chance that things don't work out you have my word that I won't come back here a week later with an oozie and a bag of hand grenades."

tomahawk since with your handle you are an expert with weapons we will assume that oozie was a typo for uzi. he didn't say anything about a Kalashnikov.

Never heard of a Kalashnikov ...

Yeah, I guess my post should've made it clear I am actually NOT an expert on the subject of weapons. I was going to Google the term "oozie" to get the correct spelling but then I thought - do I really want big brother associating my IP address with a search about an illegal weapon?

Anyway, thanks for the correction.

The UZI is not an illegal weapon in the USA.

It requires ATF approval and a $200 tax.

Very funny guys.

You can make me an offer I can't refuse. That's what you want, isn't it?

(if too low, tell him to take a hike! Then say I lied!)

"oozie"

What someone screams out when they want the back seat of the car.

Quote from nutmeg:

I remember when I interviewed at the popcorn factory and HR asked me that question. I told the boss straight up front, the place is a fucking mess, the floor needs to be swept, the windows are dirty, the help all looks like they should be out on disability. The whole gd place is unorganized and honestly I'm your man for the job.

He said when I got 750k, then and only then can I tell him how to run his business. I think he meant for me to buy him out. I thought for a moment and said "no thanks you burnt out loser".

Our relationship was strained after that, I still bought my popcorn from him, later he sold out to a bank that wanted the real estate.

LOL
