Interview: Why have you come to us?

This post is also available in: Russian, Armenian

We continue studying the subject, what questions might sound during the interview.

Today we have a fairly simple, common and requiring a preparation question to the candidate during the interview: why have you applied to our company? This, if you came to the company by yourself or after reading an announcement. As an alternative: “Why have you agreed to come to an interview at our company?” – In case the company has contacted you itself.

Let me remind you that in such matters there is a need to adhere to the truth and not to think of something else, because the company can easily catch you by guile. For example, if you say that you consider the company one of the leading in any area, but in reality the company is clearly not among the best.

Your answer to the question has to convince the employer that you are interested in working for this company, and why you have applied to a certain vacancy.

Of course, the person conducting the interview, will highlight those people who will answer honestly (without guile – see above), with arguments and without a doubt. For example, during a crisis it is much easier to justify the interest – with a large deficit of jobs.

But at any time, the company is more interested in people who have burning enthusiasm, who like the chosen direction, to whom it is important to develop themselves (career and / or professionally) and develop the company, where they work.
