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 think I've said something to that effect at an interview and gotten the job. So stay positive. People hiring like confidence.

Well, if you have an ego big enough to say that as a reflex then there's got to be SOME truth behind it.

That would have worked with me if I had been the interviewer.

I don't see anything wrong with this. Serious or not, humor/confidence like that should be encouraged in a work place.
