Tough Interview Question #15: Why Are You Interested in Working for Us?

This is a wonderful question and much easier to handle than you might think.

One of my clients, an internationally known media firm uses it to knock out people who don'[t seem favorably pre-disposed to working for them.

And that's what you need to remember--firms want to hire someone who wants to work there.

So, when you answer this question, light up your eyes with enthusiasm and speak in an excited manner.

"Why would I want to work here? Why wouldn't someone want to work here? An internationally known firm,a leader in _______, a firm with a great reputation, I'm sure the work will be interesting, how couldn't it be!

In other words, flatter them and present yourself as excited.
