Expressing your enthusiasm for a job opportunity can be the deciding factor in a successful application. You want to convey not just a desire for any job, but a genuine interest in this specific company and role. To do this effectively, you need to articulate your desire in a way that resonates with the hiring managers and aligns with the company's values and goals. Whether it's during an interview, in a cover letter, or through networking, the ability to communicate your passion for the company can set you apart from other candidates. Remember, it's about showing that you see a future there and that your professional aspirations align with the company's trajectory.

1 Research Deeply

Before you can convincingly express your desire to work for a company, you must understand what makes it unique. Deep research into the company's history, culture, values, and recent accomplishments provides you with the necessary context to tailor your message. Use this information to demonstrate your knowledge of the company and how your skills and experiences align with its objectives. This shows that your interest is not superficial but based on a genuine appreciation and understanding of what the company stands for.

I prepare lawyers for interviews, and the first "must" is researching not only the company but the people with whom they are interviewing. Company research is a given - if you can't answer basic questions about the firm's services and stature, you bomb. But researching the people is an opportunity to engage, impress, and stand out. People love talking about themselves and love even more when other people show an interest in their hobbies or careers. (See: instructions for every networking happy hour ever.) I coach lawyers to review bios, LinkedIn profiles, and to come prepared with a few questions about each person to demonstrate curiosity and respect for their practice.

2 Align Values

Highlighting the alignment between your personal values and the company's culture is crucial. Reflect on the company's mission statement and core values, then identify and articulate how these resonate with your own principles and work ethic. By doing so, you show that you're not just looking for any job but are seeking a place where you can contribute positively while also growing personally and professionally. This alignment suggests that you will be a harmonious addition to the team, furthering both your own and the company's success.

While an experienced employee may hit the ground running and boost revenue quickly, they have the potential to deteriorate culture and become a liability if they aren't values aligned. For this reason, it's becoming more common for companies to focus on values in interviews, particularly given the rise in remote work where culture is rooted in values. While some of the most common corporate values are character driven, like integrity, humility, and honesty, values can span how we work (fast-paced, tech-driven) and why we work (mission-driven). Be prepared to offer specific examples of how you put your values into practice, both personally and professionally.

3 Showcase Passion

When discussing your desire to work for the company, let your passion shine through. Share specific aspects of the company or industry that excite you and how you have followed its progress or contributed to the field in the past. This enthusiasm can be contagious and can help convince the hiring manager that you will bring not only skills and experience but also a positive and motivating energy to the team. Passion is a powerful motivator and can demonstrate your commitment to the company's future.

It's widely accepted that people who love what they do are more productive and happy at work, so it should come as no surprise that hiring managers favor candidates who present with excitement for the opportunity. I have witnessed many hires that came down to candidates who had the same credentials but one presented with passion not only in her interview (smiling, nodding) but after her interview (thoughtful and customized "thank you" notes). I recommend that you don't over-rehearse your answers. Those who hyper focus on looking professional often forget to smile and express their interest. Relax and be your awesome self.

4 Cite Examples

Use concrete examples to illustrate your interest and dedication. If you have engaged with the company's products, services, or initiatives, describe these experiences and what you learned from them. Mention any relevant projects or achievements that demonstrate your ability to contribute meaningfully to the company. This approach turns abstract expressions of interest into tangible proof of your compatibility with the company's goals and needs.

5 Plan Future

Discuss your long-term vision and how it aligns with the direction of the company. Employers are looking for candidates who are not only a good fit today but who will also be valuable as the company evolves. Share how you envision growing within the company and contributing to its long-term objectives. A clear sense of direction indicates that you're invested in the company's future and eager to be a part of its ongoing success.

6 Communicate Clearly

Finally, clarity in communication is paramount. Be concise and specific about why you want to work for the company and how you can add value. Avoid generic statements that could apply to any organization. Use precise language to convey your enthusiasm and commitment. A well-articulated desire to be part of the company shows that you have thought critically about your career path and how it intersects with the company's trajectory.
