I can't stand this type of "gotcha" questions like "tell me about a time you failed". They're almost designed to make the interviewed misstep and, in so, waste everyone's time. "Why should we hire you?" Is a weird one, specially if it was the company who contacted the interviewed. They should already know why they want to hire and instead ask specific questions to corroborate. In general, this article assumes that the company holds all the cards and the applicants should be grateful (and waste plenty of time doing the "homework") just because they were given an interview. This is very often not the case.
