what's a good answer if a perspective employer asks why do you want to work for us and why should we hire you?

Always tailor your answer to address the company's needs.  Don't tell them what working for them will do for you.  Tell them what it will do for them!\n\nSo don't say, "I want to work for you because I want the opportunity to gain experience in direct marketing."  Say, "I would be a good fit for your organization because my skills in marketing would help you to grow and expand your sporting equipment division."  (Or whatever.)  It takes a little bit of boldness to do this--that's fine.  And the more specific you can be about your skills and their needs, the more sincere and less "canned" it sounds.

The ones I have always hear are:\nWhy do you want to work for our company? They want to see if you did any research on what their company actually does. So let them know that you want to join their company because you like the industry or a certain priduct thy produce.\n\nAnother is, why should I hire you? You need to differentiate yourself here. If you say I know this or know that, well, what is so different about you from the next candidate that knows that stuff as well. You need to talk more about you personally...something not other person has.

Honesty is best. Tell why you fell that way. What traits do you model about them that will benefit the job you are applying for....Stuff like that

That's a very difficult question. It would depend on alot of factors. Some of which are;\n\nWhat is your vision for your company?\nIs this work going to be your primary source of income?\nWhere are you located?

When I, as an HR Director, ask an individual to tell him about him or herself, I am looking to see where they go with the question.  Honestly, I am NOT looking to hear about friend, family, vacations, hobbies, or interests.  I AM looking to something to give me a clue as to how this complete stranger sitting in front of me will fit in on our team.  I want to hear that they are committed/dedicated to an employer, I NEED to hear that they are dependable, I really want to hear that they are a team player.\n\nTypically the "Tell me about yourself" question is the first thing an interviewer will ask.  It is the interviewee's first opportunity to shine!  Often times at this end of this question I have made my decision.

Well, it all depends on how much you want the job and how much you are willing to smooth the edges. You must be cognizant that very often people tell their interviewees answers that they want to hear because ultimately, job hunting is a competitive thing.\nFor a question such as why are you looking to change jobs, the best way to go about this is to answer in a positive way and say: "I am looking for a job that is more challenging, that is stimulating and that I could use my true potential" \nThis type of answer, although it is not 100% the truth, isn't a lie. In fact, it’s pretty obvious you are looking for something interesting and challenging.\nIf they ask you: "is overtime a problem?" probably the best way to go about this is saying: "if there is lots of work, I definitely won't have a problem to stay, however I would aspire to utilize my time properly so I don’t need to stay over time. Ultimately, I am a very efficient worker, and I shouldn't have a problem.” This answer both assures them that you are fit for the job and that you don't want to waste your time.\n\nThe bottom line here is to be diplomatic in your answers and when they ask you a question they are most likely looking for a positive answer, so be aware of that.\n\nBest of luck.\nLet me know if you need anything else to improve the answer.

I believe they expect an honest answer. You need to tailor your answer to fit the job, and do research on the company before you go to any interviews, and way before any of those unexpected phone interviews. For example, if you applied for an entry level administrative position, you might answer " I want to become a part of a dynamic team like ABC company, and I expect to have the chance to  learn and grow with the corporation as I advance in my career". Now, keep in mind that there may not be opportunity for advancement, or that an administrative assistant may be a "dead end" job, so I cannot stress the fact that you should tailor your answer to your advantage. Basically, you want to tell them why you think their company is part of your career choice. It is an important question because it will give insight as to whether you will stay there or not.

Have a real story about a job experience that makes you look good.  You can describe how you helped a customer that did not understand how something worked.  This allows the interviewer to see some of your personality and relates to the job.  A good combination that will separate you from the other candidates.

you have to know something about the company first.\n\nwrite why you are interested in the company...  do you like their motto?  don't say you like their pay lol..  maybe it offers you experience?  be honest and don't lie.\n\nmention what you can offer their company if your hired... what can you bring them?  experience?  knowledge? skills etc.

We cannot really tell you how to find a best job for the simple reason there is none!\n\nInstead of the 'best' job you should say the most 'suitable' for YOU!\n\nOf course no-one knows you better than yourself( except God) so it depends on your personality, your hobbies and your skills!\n\nBut you can ask yourself some questions though:\n1- Why do I think this job may be a good option?\n2- How is it gonna affect my life?\n3- How much pay and free-time will I get?\n4- In what category should I base my efforts on?\n5- What is a back-up job?\n6- How does my personality, hobbies, habbits and skills fit or make me more or less suitable for this job?\n7- Where do I wanna live?\n8- Am I gonna raise a family; if so, how much quality time will this job allow me to spend with them?\n9- Am I encouraged by anyone to go for this job?\n10- Do I know anyone with experience or that can help me be good at this job?\n11- Does this job suits my beliefs, relations and character?\n12- How much do I need to change/learn to be eligible for this job?\n\nAnd much more, so you see only you can do it, there was only one shortcut to such a decision and if you're reading this thn you already have used it!\n\nGood Luck!\n\nWith all due respect, sincerity and honesty!\n\n                                             Emmanuel!

1st question who in their right mind would want the job.  The ones put up for us to chose between don't seem to have a vision of the future that we can get behind.

Basically, what you need to say for this kind of question is because you are useful for them and the company can gain many benefit by employing you, such as .... (whatever you like) ^_^.

A good answer would be something like, "I want to learn and grow as much as I can within this job.  I hope to make a positive contribution to the team's efforts and hopefully to advance if the opportunity presents itself.  I am looking for a long-term experience with a company such as this."\n\nMy experience has been that companies want someone who will stay with the job for awhile, not someone who's going to cut and run quickly.  Using that concept as the basis for your answer is probably what they're looking for.

I don't know how they are to work for. However, they are a client at my work and they have always been a pleasure to do business with. I would imagine they treat the employees well.

You will need to answer not only professional questions:\n\nWhy have you chosen our company?\nWhy would you like to work for our company?\nWhat about your education?\nIs it connected with the sphere of work of our company?\nCan you be useful for our company and why?\nWhat are your advantages?\nWhat are your main....

There is no "right" answer.  Talk about what you can bring to the company.  What are your good qualities?  What did you learn in school that you can apply to the job?  \n\nGeneric examples:  Work hard, get along with people, willing to learn, willing to teach, knowlege of the industry, etc

Well, it's hard to give you a specific answer here because I don't know what type of job you are applying for...but you might try something like this:\n\nI feel uniquely qualified for this position because I'm familiar with your company (don't bluff this-do your homework on the company). I feel I possess the ability to adapt to any situation, I'm completely loyal to the company and I want to be a part of the team that helps this company grow even more successful in the future.\n\nHope this helps.  Maybe you already thought of this.  Well, good luck anyway.
