How To Handle The Question "Why Do You Want To Work Here" In Interviews

How do I handle the question, "Why do you want to work here"?

Answer the question "Why do you want to work here?" with a very simple response, and that is: "I want to work here because I feel that this is the environment where I can best make the most contributions utilizing my skills, my unique areas of expertise, everything that I have been developing in terms of my career up until this point will be best served in this company." Also be sure that you have researched the company, that you know what they do, that you know what their mission statement is, you know what their short and long-term goals are. If you are armed with that information, you can really answer any question that they ask you from that vantage point, and that's absolutely critical. So, tie your experience and skills into what this company is looking to do and how you can help them achieve their objectives. That's really what the interviewer is looking for when they ask why you want to work there.
