INTERVIEW QUESTION: WHY DO YOU WANT THIS JOB?

This is a common interview question. Resist the urge to make this question about yourself. The interviewer is not interested in hearing that your rent is almost due or you have two children to feed. Even if it's true, do not mention salary, work hours, or location as the primary reasons you want the job. Focus on how you can benefit the company, not how the company or job can benefit you.

Research the company before the interview

Interviewers want a response that shows you've done research on the company and the job role. Make sure you research the company and you understand some basic information about both the company and the job. Your goal is to get a sense of their current goals and projects they are working on. When you answer the question, you can mention specific aspects of the company and position that appeal to you. Express enthusiasm for the company.

Match Your Skills and Experiences With the Role

Be specific about what makes you a good fit for this role. To prepare your answer, make a list of the requirements of the job as explained in the job listing, and then note which requirements match your skills and experience. In your answer, highlight a few of your abilities that qualify you for the job.

Emphasize what you can contribute.

What value will you add to the position? Mention any skills or work achievements that make you a unique, strong candidate for the job. You can use numbers to express how you can add value to the company. For example, if you increased sales at your previous company, mention this, and express your interest in doing the same for the company.

Example:

I want this job because it emphasizes sales and marketing, two of my greatest skill sets. In my previous job, I increased sales by 20% even while the nation was experiencing a recessive economy. I know I could bring my eight years of sales and marketing experience to this company, and help you continue your years of growth.

No b una say make ppl submit CV and apply? Why u want ppl to apply in d first place is why I want to work with U..

Where do u see urself in 5yrs? Oga if wishes were horses, na Canada I go see myself but if not I can't see myself

Dis is d most annoying because most tyms dem jus dey give u hope and won't give u d job.. I tell u how much I want, U won't give me. I try to dodge, U'll insist and still not give me what I want..

Applicants don suffer for dis country.. And d annoying part is U must have experience.. D experience unemployment and of attending numerous interviews shld count these days abeg jare.. And why is everything all about marketing these days...

They most annoying part is where they know you're an entry level and they'll still be asking you for experience.

I'm really in need of a job o. I studied Economics and I'm through with Service.

Please help a brother out!!!

Loooollll..... employers and their clichéd questionings.....


Why do I want this job? Sir, Ma? You really wanna know? You don't mind my being frank?


Interviewers: Go right ahead son.... we wanna hear what you wanna say.

Me: Promise me you won't use it against me.

Interviewers: We won't son... we promise. Our word is our bond.

Me: is it because your company got the word, "Bond" in its name? I need solid promise Sir.

Interviewers' head: You got it son. Shoot....


Me: Okay then.... first of all, why I want this job? very simple... I need the money Sir. And Ma'am, don't gimme that look, we all need the money. Would you be sitting here talking to me if no one will pay you for interviewing all prospective employees who walk through that door?? Come on, let's be real... And you Sir, would you take a job just for passion's sake forgetting that your son junior needs money for a new bike?? huh?
How about you Madam with the specs on? How would your daughter feel when you come home each day from work with no money, nothing to show that she can get that new glossy ballerina dress huh? Or you Madam with a wig... who obviously got a son whose birthday comes up in a month's time or so and needs to throw a party as he enters Teenhood.... see? we all need the money....

That's number 1....

Number 2 is simple.... because Someday, I am gonna be your boss.



**Hahaha Very funny
