What's a safe online company to work for?

Whats the best answer for... "why would you like to work for our company?"?

  • I just turned 18 and I'm eager to start working full time. I previously worked W.S.S. which is a shoe store, I started off as a sales associate and made my way up to a cashier. I worked for this company for about a year. I liked working there because everyone was friendly and we all worked as a team. can anyone help me find the BEST way to answer this question and include past experiences?

  • Answer:

    You’ve got a reputation for (insert quality from your research) and I like the fact that I’d be (how you would be helping them). I like the idea of going to work for a company where I can use my skills and experience. It makes me feel kind of like I have a stake in what’s going on. I also think I would be a good fit as (Job title). One of the things I’ve focused on in my career is excellence. When I worked for W.S.S., I spent a lot of my time learning from peers so that I could be a better sales associate and go above and beyond for our customers. My efforts were noticed and I was later promoted to cashier. I enjoyed working there a lot because everyone was friendly and worked as a team. Your company culture appears similar and the job here just seems like a good fit with my experience, personality, and interests. I know I will be able to hit the ground running.

It depends on what the company is, but you should mention that you enjoy whatever the work is (if it's shoes, say how shoes interest you). I don't think it's best to say something about "learning, gaining experience, etc." It sounds like you don't know what you are doing and need to learn. Say that the job interests you and that you like working in a team and are excited to offer your skills to someone who will appreciate them.

Questions like this are a waste of an interviewer's time and a waste of yours. Think about this question carefully, and you'll realize it's an insult to the applicant. It means they expect you to beg for a job, and they are fishing to see how much they can get away with. Any time I've been presented with a question like this it resulted in employment that I eventually left for a REAL job. Here's what you should do: Dodge the question as well as possible, make sure that your qualifications for the job have been clearly expressed to the interviewer, look at your watch, and leave as soon as possible, hopefully to be interviewed where your talents will be appreciated.

Research the company you are having an interview with. Look for the company's mission and values - base your answer around that. Mention that the company seems like a great place to work and it is somewhere you can see yourself long term.

It's a growing company I respect, and because (as you can see by my resume) I am a team player. OR you could say that the cash is your sole reason for wanting to work there, but that might not get you the job, lol.
