in this week's job search tip, we'regoing to be going over interview question and answers. today we're going to discuss thequestion "why do you want to work here?" we're gonna look at it from differentangles and find out what employers are really looking for. that's coming up! hey guys, i'm kim with snagajob andwelcome to our weekly show. we're going to be going over everything from interview tips to resume advice and everything in between. today, we're going to be tackling thedreaded question "why do you want to work here?"

now this is a very common question andchances are in almost every interview you go on you are gonna be asked thisquestion. "cuz i'm broke and i really need the money." so as tempting and honest as that may be, what they really wanna know is if your looking for their job, or if you're looking for just any job. if you come across as desperate and needy than it's just looking like you're gonnatake any job that comes along and you may leave them as soon as something better comes.

"i don't really wanna work here but "i'm trying to afford this spring break trip with these girls that i know. apparently, playing call of duty is not a real job. whatever, mom." "i heard employees get free sandwiches?" "i have the biggest crush on the girl who works the night shift. eeeee" you're best bet is to focus on the company itself. i've recently talked to resha, a hired snagajob member who got hired at kohl's during a groupinterview. now what they did was they went around the room asked everyone thesame question.

and when the "why do you wanna work here" question came up everyone answered with things like:"honestly i'll do anything i just really need the money." so, to set herself apart, resha said: i want to work here because i admireyour staff's friendliness and i want to be a part of that. so what shedid was focus on the company itself and focus on what she admired about themtheir customer service something they take very seriously andthat really set her apart from the rest of the group. what you really want to do is keep youranswers about them and how well

the two of you can work together. makesure you do research on the company before you go in for the interview. take a look around at their website andsee if they won any awards maybe for how they treat their employeesor how they treat their customers. these are things you can mentionspecifically when answering that question that can really show that you take yourjob search seriously and really want this job "i've been a fan of build-a-bear for yearsnow and i think this is a great place

for me to put my customer service skillsto work in fact, i saw on your website that you won anaward for being a great place to work and every time i've been in there i've seen how happy your employees were. i would love to join the team. so the three things to answer thisquestion really well are: first, talk about how much you admire the company. second, talk about what a great fit youwould be in this position. and third, show that you've done researchon the company itself. so interviewing itself can be a littlestressful and some of the best advice we

can give you is to practice. practice, practice, practice. it will help ease some of the nerves and you go in withconfidence that you know what's coming ahead. so, thanks for joining us today please likethis video if you found it helpful so we know to keep making videos like this. and if you have a question or commentplease leave it below or even leave us a video response and we'll try to weaveit into the rest of our series. now remember to subscribe to our youtubechannel we will be releasing a video every wednesday with some job search tips and visit www.snagajob.com to start your job search today.
