So what makes you think I'm great for this role?"
This reframes the interview as a conversation rather than a grilling, starts off the interview by compelling the interviewers to form positive associations of you from the start (you know the people who say first impressions don't matter? They're idiots) and reasons why it would be in their interests rather than yours to give you the job.
If I was interviewing you that would piss me off enough to give you the heave ho!
Yes, because that's likely to happen.
Yeah, like you’d ever get to an interview stage.
Fair point.
I've got no interest in selling pot pourri.
