Know Your 'Why' (and Ace Your Interview)

Good news: You’ve landed the interview.


Better news: You know what questions are coming – and MOAA can help you prepare.

?

MOAA transition expert Brian Anderson breaks down the basics: Get tips on what you’ll be asked and, more importantly, what the interviewer really wants to know.

?

Question: “Why do you want this job?”

?

YES: “It will allow me to put both my leadership and technical skills to good use with an industry leader.”

?

NO: “Salary looked good, and I’m trying to escape my current employer …”

?

And don’t forget – you may be the interviewee, but you’ll want to take full advantage of a chance to find out if you’re a good fit.
