University Employment Question:
Why do you want to work for our company?
What do you know about us? Or, what do we do?
Why do you want to work for a small firm?
What draws you to this industry?
What do you think of our competitors?
Answer:
These are questions that are very, very difficult to answer on the spot without preparation, so you’ll be caught out quickly if you try to wing it.
Make sure you’re ready for these questions by doing your homework. Find the company online and read through their website, then move on to their competitors and media within that industry. Be prepared to give a critical analysis of a firm's competitors. Do not criticise them for no reason, and if you like them then do say so (and why).
