The interviewer wants to know why you chose to serve his company. Basically this question is asked to people having experience in their respective field.

Try to find out the status of the company, the turnover of the company, why this company is best among the competitors, etc. Such information will help you to answer in the best possible manner.


Try to gather information from annual reports, company’s website, articles about the company and the corporate newsletter.


Your answers can be:


1) Three reasons why I would like to work for your company are:

- Since your company provides a strong core competency, very strong value systems and best practices so I believe I have a strong vision of viewing myself as a project leader in your company.

- Your company has one of the fastest growth rates and turnover in the industry and that would mean a faster growth rate for me as a professional.

- The practices of your company are more employee and customer oriented.




2) I well understand that this is a company on the way up. And recently I studied and saw on your website about the launch of several new products which is imminent. I want to be a part of this business as it grows. Additionally, the team I would work with looks terrific.
