Let's assume you sent your resume for the position you wanted so much and the company is calling you for an interview.
First of all, it is important to overcome the stress. If you are stressed in the interview, it is almost certain that you will not have a good presence. And you will not get the job.
In the second phase, you must be ready to answer some of the most common questions. In the right way. One of these is "Why do you want this job?" Contrary to what many believe, the appropriate answer here should not be a few good words about the company. Not a few negative words about your last employer or your former colleagues. It should not be a reference to the awards that the new company has before you.
Think of this: The new potential employer you have in front of you does not care about how much you admire the company. Nor is he interested in explaining how much the company can help you. He feels the opposite: How you can help the business.
As career coach and businessman J.T. O'Donnell explains in an article on inc.com, the right answer is to explain how the new job will allow you to leverage your existing skills, experience and interests to add more value in the company.
So your answer must be more relevant to them. Not you. Not how you will become better. But how do you give more value to the company.
