How to answer “Why do you want to work for our company?”
“We are not given a short life but we make it short, and we are not ill-supplied but wasteful of it. Life is long if you know how to use it.”
You will get asked this question in every interview “Why do you want to work for our company?”
Most of the interviewees give the wrong answer as they start praising the company…
➡️ I want to work at your company because it’s a Fortune 500 company.
➡️ I will get to learn from the great leaders at the organization.
➡️ I see significant opportunities for growth here, aligning with my long-term goals.
See how selfish this sounds!
You don’t want to make this mistake.
How to implement it in your life?
You need to be smarter and go through the mission statement, vision and values of the company.
Then you need to highlight:
✅ How you can contribute to the company in achieving its goals
✅ Show that you are a cultural fit. Mention one of the company’s values that resonates with you the most. Give an example of how you have exhibited that in the past.
✅ In the end, you can sprinkle a little bit of praise.
Keep Blooming,
