what do u reply in a job interview when asked 'why do you want this job?'?

Answer 1

Here are some of the best answers to that questions. This is an excerpt from a job search expert with more than twenty years experience in human resources, career development, and job searching.

* This is not only a fine opportunity, but this company is a place where my qualifications can make a difference.

* As a finance executive well versed in the new stock options law, I see this position as made to order. It contains the challenge to keep me on my toes. That's the kind of job I like to anticipate every morning.

* I want this job because it seems tailored to my competencies, which include sales and marketing. As I said earlier, in a previous position I created an annual growth rate of 22 percent in a flat industry. Additionally, the team I would work with looks terrific.

* I well understand that this is a company on the way up. Your Web site says the launch of several new products is imminent. I want be a part of this business as it grows.

* Having worked through a college business major building decks and porches for neighbors, this entry-level job for the area's most respected home builder has my name on it.

* As a dedicated technician, I like doing essential research. Being part of a breakthrough team is an experience I'd love to repeat.

* This job is a good fit for what I've been interested in throughout my career. It offers a nice mix of short- and long-term activities. My short-term achievements keep me cranked up and the long-term accomplishments make me feel like a billion bucks.

* I want this job selling theater tickets because I'd be good at it. I'm good at speaking to people and handling cash. I would like a job with regular hours and I'm always on time.

* Although some companies are replacing Americans with imported low-wage workers, you are standing tall. This company's successful strategies, good reputation and values make it heads and shoulders above its competition.

* I'd fit right in as a counter clerk in your fine drycleaners. I have observed that the counter clerk position requires competence at handling several activities in quick order -- customer service, payments, bagging and phones. I like multitasking and, as a homemaker, I have a lot of practice in keeping all the balls in the air.

* The work I find most stimulating allows me to use both my creative and research skills. The buzz on this company is that it rewards people who deliver solutions to substantial problems.


I hope that helps!

Answer 2

You must be VERY young. You look at the job you are interviewing for and what type of company you would be working for. Find out what their goals are and what kind of people work there. Your motivation would be different with every job interview. Please don't tell them you want to be president of the company. Base your motivation around them. Honestly, money is my motivation. I told my boss that after I had been with the company for many years and she thought I was terrible for saying that. I was being honest. They don't like that. SEE THE GUY ABOVE ME. HE IS THE IDIOT FROM YESTERDAY. THE MAN....................... If I knew job and company I could help you more.

Answer 3

You tell them that the job is the hope of all your dreams, that their company is the best in the world. A little tip for future interviews: when you go tell yourself that the job is already yours but you need to decide if you want that company to have all you have to give. Good luck

Answer 4

- you want a career in that particular industry

- you want to join a company with a good reputation

- you have the skills/experience for the job

- you want to take the next step in your career and believe this job is ideal

- you think you will gain alot from the job

- you enjoy new/fresh challenges

- you feel your more suited to the job than that of your current job and believe you will fit in well & work hard

- the job will provide you with the opportunity to put yourself to your full potential

obviously dont just reel a list off..make it into a flowery reply!

Answer 5

Stress the professional aspects (why you are a good match for the job): Highlight aspects of the job description where you fit well, say that the job very intersting (say why) that it is challenging (say why), that you think the company is great (why) and that you think you will fit well (why).

Also mention that from a personal point of view it is a good fit for you. For example the location.

Answer 6

It's probably best not to put, my current job is rubbish or it's a much easier commute. Stuff about career development, challenging position, feeling you can bring special qualities to the job often go down well.

Answer 7

Try to give use some reasons that are specific to that company, rather than those that could be applicable to similar positions in many organisations.
Failing that, focus on the benefits of working for this type of organisation.

Answer 8

For the money and the holidays.
Seriously, it's because you have done research on the company and know what a good employer they are and you feel you will reach your full potential working for them and be a great asset to the company.

Answer 9

I always reply:

It is a position that will utilize my diverse background and experience. This is the field of work I have dedicated myself to performing excellently.

Answer 10

Because I love this type of work.. I find it very fulfilling and have heard only good things about this organization in particlar
