Answering the interview question

“Why do you want to work here?”.

When you are faced with the question ‘Why do you want to work here?’ you may feel overwhelmed. However, your interviewer isn’t going to ask you to recite all of their industry awards from memory. Nor do they want you to feed them empty compliments.
The interview is about you.

Your interviewer wants to know:

  • Why you are perfect for the role.
  • What motivated you to apply.
  • How you will fit into the company’s culture.
  • Whether you understand the company’s strategy and commercial goals.
  • Whether you are likely to stay at the company for a long time.

You need to structure your answer in two parts:
1. Why do you want this particular job?
2. Why do you want to work at this particular company?
