Why Do You Want To Work At This Company?

The purpose of this question is to explore your intentions and find out if you are different from other applicants. The key to answering this question is to be as specific as you can.

Generic answers are very common in this kind of question, coming as “I like your products”, “I heard good things about the company”, or “I really need a job”. Even if those things are true, the employer expects you to be sincerely interested in the company and will not hire you simply because you need a job.

Good answers correlate your values and interests with the company. As you research the company’s website, find out if you share similar values that are worth mentioning.

A good answer to this question would sound like this:

“I appreciate how the company takes the environment seriously and only sell products that are nature-friendly. This is something that I really care about and want to support. I would be happy to be a part of it.”

Remember to prepare well and be honest. Good luck!
