How To Answer The "Why Do You Want To Work Here?" Question In A Job Interview by wandevincent(m): 5:59pm On Dec 22, 2013 |
Do you have an upcoming job interview? Are you scouring the internet looking for advice on how to answer tough job interview questions? More than likely you will be asked, "Why do you want to work here?", or "Why do you want this job?" While it's important to practice your answer, be careful to not recite it from memory. You want your answer to sound genuine and honest. It will help the potential employer determine if you are fit for the job. Below are some sample answers. Please be sure to practice your answer with a friend or two. If you are a college graduate, the career center staff should be happy to help you prepare for a job interview, and can help you review your answer to this question. It might also help to search on Youtube for advice videos on how to answer the question. This video here explains how should do your homework and research the company and convey your knowledge in the answer. "Why do you want this job?" Sample Job Interview Answer #1: I chose to apply for this position because it meets everything I am looking for in a job. I want a job where I can be creative and work on a team, and this seems to be a great match. After researching XYZ company, I was impressed with your services, and I would be proud to be a part of the business. I truly believe that that the key to job happiness is to find something that you are passionate about, and I am truly passionate about XYZ company. "Why do you want this job?" Sample Job Interview Answer #2 This position is my ideal job because the responsibilities are exactly what I'm looking for. I want a position where I can (insert job responsibility here) and (insert second job responsibility here.) I researched ABC company, and I am very impressed. I desire to work for a company that has a strong reputation, and I know that ABC company is known for it's quality products. In addition, I feel that this job fits my personality best. "Why do you want this job?" Sample Job Interview Answer #3: I like the reputation that 123 company has in the business community, and I would be proud to be part of it. I desire to have this position as (insert job title here) because it will allow me to use my skills such as (insert skill here) and fits my personality. I like the fact that 123 company has been around since 1934, and that the job turnover rate is low. From what I read online, employee morale appears to be high, and it sounds like a great environment to work in. I feel that this job suits me well, and I would be thrilled to be a member of the team. Again, do not recite your answer verbatim. Practice your answer before hand and ask for advice from friends. (Or, you might even ask for advice on an online job search forum.) If you are a college graduate, contact the career center for some job interview assistance. Most will even offer mock job interviews. For more job interview advice, please read "How to answer the 'Why Should We Hire You' Question in a Job Interview."
