The last candidate, Phillip, answers,

"I'm not sure at this point. I answered the ad because I fit the description but, from the research I've done, I think that this is the type of company and industry I want to work in.

Research

It is a must to do research before the interview, and come up with two or three reasons you want to work for this company. It would also be beneficial for you to think of at least two reasons that this job is a match for you - your skills, your strengths, your experience, and your background - what you can bring to this company.

Your Answer

There are no right or wrong answers to this question. Your answer should reflect that you have thought about what you want and have done research on companies, and this one in particular. Let the interviewer know that you are being selective about where you want to work, and that this is the company you want to work for. A little flattery will go a long way.
