“Why do you want to work here?” is a tricky interview question since there are 3 implicit things the interviewer is looking for. Variations of this popular interview question include “Why are you interested in this position,” “Why do you want this job?” and “Why do you want to work for us?” But all three of these are asking the same thing. As long as you grasp this concept, you can take the best answer examples from this video and adapt it for your own use case.
In this video I provide sample answers that address all the implicit questions the interviewer is looking for. These example answers have worked well for me and my community so I’m confident you will find some learnings here.
First, the interviewer is trying to figure out whether or not you have a growth mindset. Whether you’re trying to improve yourself so you can benefit their company. Do you want the job because of superficial reasons (like salary, commute, and location) or are in it for the long run?
Secondly, how much research have you done? Are you really interested in working for the company you’re interviewing with? Or is it just a stepping stone to something else?
Finally, how enthusiastic are you about the role? What exactly about the position interests you? Can you provide specific examples that speak to why the role would benefit both the company and you?

When researching ahead of an interview, I browse the company's website for their history and mission statement. Then I go through LinkedIn and try to connect with some of the people who are in that position or who will be leading the interview to see what their values and goals are.

@@AustinChowChow Hi Austin! That's a really really good way to go about it! So many people forget about trying to figure out the fit or culture ahead of deciding which companies they apply to (you should really be going for ones that align with your own values) and instead just apply to all openings they see. But it seems like you know the sort of culture you want?

Great advice! I’ve never thought of asking experts about their KPI to gauge what their day-to-day is like. In answer to your question, I look at their websites, check their social media accounts, and, of course, ask Google! I think the hardest part about the whole process is filtering out all the unimportant parts to get to the relevant information.

Love the KZfaq part :) If you're talking about how to structure (like the "Tell me about yourself" video or "Why are you a good fit for this role") I'd say the first 30-45 seconds should be about making that connection between the role and yourself, then around another minute or so on your growth mindset (with specific examples of course) and ending it out by reiterating your passion for the work you'd be able to do in the new role (of course your enthusiasm should be evident throughout)!

Hi Ross! Funnily enough a few of my fellow classmates from university are working in that exact same position (I think a few in NYC and another one in Ohio actually). From what I understand, it's an extremely client-focused and customer-centric role, so I'd highlight experiences (both personal and professional) where you went above and beyond when it came to supporting a user (i.e. client). Furthermore, you probably want to show you can deal with very difficult customers since that's definitely a challenge you'll come to face. Best of luck, let me know how it goes!

I find this question to be silly. I also find it really wild that employers would rather not have an honest answer to this question as well. There is a 100% chance that the applicant is seeking that profession for personal growth and monetary gain, not so much the company's. If anything, a person who is honest about why want to work there is a better candidate than the person who merely says what the interviewer wants to hear. More often than not, it's better to have someone who will say what you need to hear than someone who would say what you want to hear.

Do you have any suggestions on "Why do you want to leave the current company?"Or any key points to touch on? I will have two interviews tomorrow, so I can't wait for your whole video lol

Oh wow, good luck with the interviews tomorrow! So that's a whole other video haha but I think you want to touch on 3 key points that the new company has that is an EXTENSION of what you are doing now. For example, "I find that A, B, C builds on my capabilities I have developed here..."

@@JeffSu I tried to change my career path to marketing since I’m much analytical and thought it was the right career path, but I quickly realized that sales is my true passion. The satisfaction of bringing the right product/solution to my clients is like no other. Being introvert actually plays at my advantage which makes me a better listener and builds trust with my clients.
