I have decided to speak on this topic because of the recent mails I have received to talk about how to answer certain questions, most especially the “Why are you interested in this position?” question asked by employers or recruiting managers.

This is a very important question that most job seekers find hard to answer because they really don’t know how to express themselves about the position they are applying for. What most job seekers need is just a job they are not really concerned about what kind of post they will fill and what duty they will carry out.



Answer description of the job

The most common reason to apply for a job is that you are interested in the responsibilities of the job. You can say this like: I came to know from the job description that a big part of the position is to take a particular responsibility. I am really excited about this responsibility because of A, B, C.



Avoid giving the message of applying for a job with no work and all fun

This holds true especially for junior positions. Hence, apart from talking about how excited you are to take a particular responsibility, also clarify that you are interested in working on the regular part of the job, which may sound mundane.



Adding other good reasons

Apart from the most important reason that is the job itself, you should also mention other reasons such as working with smart individuals, working in a good and secure environment or working to learn new things.



Use right reasons to support your answer

You may want the job for some reasons which are not so good to highlight, like money, vacations, benefits, etc. Refrain from mentioning them in your job interview.
