I just turned 18 and I'm eager to start working full time. I previously worked W.S.S. which is a shoe store, I started off as a sales associate and made my way up to a cashier. I worked for this company for about a year. I liked working there because everyone was friendly and we all worked as a team.
can anyone help me find the BEST way to answer this question and include past experiences?

You’ve got a reputation for (insert quality from your research) and I like the fact that I’d be (how you would be helping them). I like the idea of going to work for a company where I can use my skills and experience. It makes me feel kind of like I have a stake in what’s going on. I also think I would be a good fit as (Job title). One of the things I’ve focused on in my career is excellence. When I worked for W.S.S., I spent a lot of my time learning from peers so that I could be a better sales associate and go above and beyond for our customers. My efforts were noticed and I was later promoted to cashier. I enjoyed working there a lot because everyone was friendly and worked as a team. Your company culture appears similar and the job here just seems like a good fit with my experience, personality, and interests. I know I will be able to hit the ground running.

You have 2 main objectives in answering this question.
1. You need to convince the employer that you like the company and think it is a place that you see as a good company This must be done without being to brash or sounding like it's sucking up.
2. You must sell yourself by being professional and showing you have a knowledge of the company and have the skills and knowledge to bring something (yourself), to the company as a good thing.

Research the company you are having an interview with. Look for the company's mission and values - base your answer around that. Mention that the company seems like a great place to work and it is somewhere you can see yourself long term.

It depends on what the company is, but you should mention that you enjoy whatever the work is (if it's shoes, say how shoes interest you). I don't think it's best to say something about "learning, gaining experience, etc." It sounds like you don't know what you are doing and need to learn. Say that the job interests you and that you like working in a team and are excited to offer your skills to someone who will appreciate them.

It's a growing company I respect, and because (as you can see by my resume) I am a team player.
OR you could say that the cash is your sole reason for wanting to work there, but that might not get you the job, lol.

Hilton is a great company to work for. There are all over and if you want to move they set you up with the closest Hilton so there is no restraints.
