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: Why do you want to work for us?
Your answer should include elements of the secret recipe question:
Resell yourself. For example, "Mr./Ms. Recruiter, it was indicated
to me that your company is looking for someone to…"
Share with them the skills that they are looking for and then use
examples to reiterate what you have done in these areas. This is
another opportunity for you, as the applicant, to resell yourself.
