Applying for a job opportunity through The Mom Project? One of the first steps in filling out your application is crafting your "Why Me?" statement.
The "Why Me?" statement is a key component of your job applications. Think of this section like a mini-cover letter: The goal here is to briefly explain why you are applying to this specific position and how your experience, enthusiasm and skills relate to the role.
It's a short but powerful section — with a 600 character limit (or about 100 words), it's a natural place to start evaluating candidates. Hence, crafting a great "Why Me?" statement is one of the best chances you have to catch the hiring manager or recruiter’s attention.
