Excerpted from From
Here to There by Larry Stuenkel
These questions
are similar to what you can expect during a real interview. Being
prepared will enable you to think on your feet.
The suggested replies, excerpted from From Here to There
by Larry Stuenkel, aren't intended to give you one correct answer.
Rather, the answers should reflect your personal frame of reference,
based on your motives, goals, work skills and aspirations. The replies
are meant to stimulate your thinking, not to be memorized.
Q: What do you expect from the company that hires you? How can
we meet your needs?
The reason people work is because they need security, money and
benefits. Work also offers employees intellectual stimulation, structure
in their lives, and socialization. Realistically, what your actual
goals and desires are for your position should not be voiced in
the interview. You should take this question and turn it around
and say, "I expect to have the opportunity to work toward XYZ Company's
goals."
