"Why do you want to work here?" is a tough question to answer, especially early in the interview process when you might not have all the information. This article offers practical tips for crafting a solid response to this classic interview question.
Many of my clients ask this question during interviews, and they often find candidates' answers lacking. Clients want to know if the candidate has taken the time to research the company and if they're genuinely excited about the work. Are they interested in the company’s mission, vision, or products? Are they passionate about the science or technology driving the business? What aspects of the role attract them?
To stand out, candidates should demonstrate that they've done their homework and are enthusiastic about what the company does. Instead of coming across as someone who's just looking for any job or running from a bad experience, successful candidates should highlight what draws them to this specific role and company.
Ultimately, employers are seeking candidates who are curious, engaged, and eager to contribute to the company's success.?
