interview question sample answer

1. Tell me why you want to work here
answer
Interviewers almost always ask why you want to work at the organization. It's one of the
most frequently asked interview questions, and saying that the job sounds great or the
company is wonderful isn't enough.
When interviewing prospective employees, employers are eager to determine which
candidates really want the job and would invest genuine effort in bettering the company, and
which just want a job, regardless of what it is.
Though it seems like an easy question, many employers will ask, "Why do you want to work
here?," in order to gauge your level of interest and how much you have learned about the
company.

2. How to Answer the Job Interview Question: "Why Do You Want to Work
Here?“
The best way to answer this question is to be prepared and knowledgeable about
the company. Spend some time researching the company (the About Us section of
the employer's website is a good place to start) so you can talk about the benefits of
working for this employer.
Check out the company's LinkedIn page, as well. If you have a connection at the
company, ask them if you can get some insight into what the company is seeking in
an ideal employee.

3. Turn Your Cover Letter into Talking Points for an Interview
• The more specifics you can provide, the better. But, don't just talk about the
benefits and perks of working there. What you should really try to emphasize is
how the company's mission, values, and work align with your own goals.
• Compare Your Goals to the Job
• Compare your goals with the objectives of the company and the position, then
reiterate why you would be an asset to the employer. Let the interviewer know
what you can do for the company, if you get a job offer.
• Even though the question is about why you want to work there, you still need to
convince the interviewer that hiring you will benefit the company.
