How would you answer the question, "Why Do You Want to Work Here?"

Honestly, it is such a basic question, that generally gets overlooked. Some people provide generic answers to it, because they really don't know why. Others will assume that they want to work someplace, because of something specific, like past experience at a job you hated and that you wanted a better job.

So, what would be your answer to the question, if your future employer wanted to know why you want to work with them?

The reason is simply to make money though I will not tell my employer that is the reason for seeking to work with them. If am asked such question, my answer should to help the company to reach their target through dedication and commitment to my work.

You have to be very critical and analytical when answering syvh interview questions. I would just tell them that I think I would achieve my career goals with them.

The best answer will be based on the company's background. It also varies how the interaction goes between the applicant and the interviewer.

My answer would be, I want to work here because I needed a job I needed to earn, and I believe your company can give that to me. :)
I know there are definitely plenty of jobs out there, where that really is the only goal of getting that job, is just for the money.

I will first say to add value to this company or workplace. Then I will appreciated for my hardwork through payment or income here. So it is a win win situation

I think I like your point and the fact that you need money does not mean that you should put it first as you have done

The best thing is to tell them that you are very good at what they want to employ you for and it can even put you into practical test

Yeah you just have to keep emphasizing more on what you can do for the company because trust me that's what they want to hear don't the other way round. So tell them what they want t hear.

I would tell them that I want to contribute my bit of hardwork and creativity to help take the organization to the very peak. Always focus on the interest of the organization on interviews.

I believe that what you're required for to answer when this kind of question is thrown at you is to leverage the skill that you're going to bring to the company and believe that it is something that will add more benefits to the growth of the company.
