what should i say if an employer ask me why do i want to work for them?

Answer 1

Whatever anyone tells you, never say you want the job because you need money, even if that is the reason. This is the time where you incorporate your personal interests in with the description and goals of the company. Tell the employer that you have always had an interest in the field and this interest was inspired by so and so etc. A little elaboration will never hurt with these kind of questions. They may also ask "tell me a little bit about yourself." The easiest way to do this is to begin from your educational career and lead up to where you are now. Tell them where you went to school and again how you became interested in the field and even a little bit about your responsibilities in previous jobs. Never speak bad about a previous employer because this tells the employer that you will probably have some things to say about them as well. "Why did you leave your last job?" If you left by choice then a reasonable answer for this is that you are moving on and looking for bigger and better things. By the way, if you think you will look at your watch during the interview, don't take one. Don't look at your watch because this tells the interviewer that you have better things to be doing. This should help you out. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 2

Find out about the company that you are applying to and about the position you are applying for and then devise a reason that you would want that job.

Example: You want to get into healthcare and eventually become a nurse...but ...you need help for tuition and you have no experience so you might apply at a hospital for a job in the laundry or a job in housekeeping. Why do you want to work there???? Because I am interested in pursuing a job in healthcare and this would allow me the opportunity to observe the different facets of healthcare and what might be available to me.

(You keep to yourself the fact that you know the company has tuition assistance programs)

An employer wants to see you as a long term prospect ...hiring you and training you are not worthwhile if you look to them like you have no direction or purpose in life other than to collect a paycheck. If they note enthusiasm about the job or the company or even the field ...they will be more encouraged to give you a chance. Also be able to awnser .....Where do you see yourself 5 years from now? Reply ...right now ...my 5 year plan would be to be in nursing school. It doesn't have to be written in stone that you keep that goal ...as goals change ...they just want to know that you have a goal.

Apply my example to your personal situation and adjust it as necessary and you'll do fine.

Good Luck

Answer 3

The basic idea that you want to communicate is that you have thoroughly researched both the field and the employer, and found them both to be well-suited to you. Begin with the general, why you think the job matches your skills and talents. And work down to the specific. End with something about that particular employer that would make them more desirable than any other company with the same posisiton. It doesn't have to be true, it just has to sound plausible to the interviewer. Good luck.

Answer 4

Usually an employer will ask you that in the middle of the interview or the very beginning. You want to say something about how your skills will benefit the company. Or that you are looking for a new challenge. That's considered a "warm-up" question.

Answer 5

because you need money
