I was conducting a workshop on interviews, where I first taught my HERO
template for putting together a powerful answer to "Tell me about your
background", then had everyone do a mini-role play where they would
answer variations on that question.

One of the variations was "Why should I hire you?", and the respondent
stumbled through an answer that didn't include any of what I had just
taught the group. When I asked why she hadn't used the HERO template,
she said, "Because that wasn't the question he asked."

It never occurred to me that the form of the question might trip someone
up in our simple exercise, but on reflection, it should have. This is a
common trap.

We are conditioned to do our best to literally answer the question we
have been asked. However, there are always many ways we COULD answer,
and if we devote some time and energy to thinking about the purpose of
the question, we might vary our answer such that it would better meet
what we would like to communicate.

For example, when you first meet a female executive at a networking
event, often you will be asked "What do you do?" Do you think that
executive is really excited to know about your job?

Probably not.

More likely, she is simply trying to find a way to get a conversation
going, probing for an area of specialization in which she might be
conversant, or a subject matter where you have something in common.

Either of these possible answers will accomplish that goal, but which is
likely to generate more interest on her part?
1. Telling your job title, and perhaps a few of your duties. 2.
Telling some specific interesting aspect of what you do.
