hey, jaysen - I have been struggling with answering why you question in interviews? I seem to be all over the place

How do you normally start your answer to why you and what kind of structure did you adopt when answering this.

TL D R- your opening sentence and your structure for why you.

    A "why you?" isn't particularly common at interview. I was asked it in one of my interviews, however, it was towards the end and more of a spontaneous question.

    I would think about your biggest strengths. Choose three to four and back up each with examples. These could be from studying, work experience, employment or extra-curricular activities. Then think about how these make you a competitive candidate.
