and this week's job search tip we're
going to be going over interview
question and answers today we're going
to discuss the question why do you want
to work here we're going to look at it
from different angles and find out what
employers are really looking for that's
coming up
hey guys I'm Kim with Snagajob and
welcome to our weekly show we're going
to be going over everything from
interview tips to resume advice and
everything in between
today we're going to be tackling the
dreaded question why do you want to work
here now this is a very common question
and chances are in almost every
interview you go on you're going to be
asked this question because I'm broke it
I really need the money so as tempting
as honest as that may be what I really
want to know is if you're looking for
their job or if you're looking for just
any job if you come across as desperate
and needy then it's just looking like
you're going to take any job that comes
along and you may leave them as soon as
something better comes I don't really
want to work here but I'm trying to
afford the spring break trip with these
girls that I know apparently playing
call of duty is not a real job whatever
mom I heard employees get free
sandwiches I've got the biggest crush on
Cole who works the night shift your best
bet is to focus on the company itself I
recently talked to Risha a hired
Snagajob member who got hired at Cole's
during a group interview now what they
did was they went around the room and
asked everyone the same question and
when the why do you want to work here
question came up everyone answered with
things like honestly I'll do anything I
just really need the money so to set
herself apart Risha said I want to work
here because I admire your staffs
friendliness and I want to be a part of
that so what she did was focus on the
company itself and focused on what she
admired about them their customer
service something they take very
seriously and that really set her apart
from the rest of the group what you
really want to do is keep your answers
about them and how well the two of you
can work together make sure you do
research on the company before you go in
for the interview take a look around at
their website and see if they want any
awards maybe for how they treat their
employees or how they treat their
customers these are things you can
mention specifically when answering that
question that can really show that you
take your job search seriously and
really want this job I've been a fan of
build-a-bear for years now and I think
this is a great place for me to put my
customer service skills to work in fact
I saw on your website that you want an
award for being a great place to work
and every time I've been in there I've
seen how happy your employees were I
would love to join too so the three
things to answer this question really
well
our first talk about how much you admire
the company second talk about what a
great fit you would be in this position
and third show that you've done research
on the company itself so err reviewing
itself can be a little stressful and
some of the best advice we can give you
is to practice practice practice
curious it will help leave some of the
nerves and you'll go in with the
confidence that you know what's coming
ahead so thanks for joining us today
