WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK FOR US? Job Interview Question and Answer #interviewquestions #interviewtips #jobinterview #RichardMcMunn #CareerVidz

why do you want to work for us? I want to work for your company for three main reasons. Obviously before I applied for this job I carried out lots of research into your organisation to make sure that the skills, the qualities and the levels of enthusiasm I have are a match for your company and they clearly are. So those three reasons are first of all you have an impressive track record of achievement. So that tells me everything you do is focused on the future success of the business. The second reason is having looked into the products and services you create they are clearly set to a very high standard. That's good for me because I operate as a team leader to high standards and it will be easier for me to go into my team and insist that everyone carries out everything to exacting standards and to defined qualities and that's very important. The final third reason why I want to work for you as a team leader is because looking at your future plans on your website I believe that I can be here for a long period of time and I can really get stuck into those plans and help you to achieve the vision. So because you've got such a strong vision for the future I can share that with my team and it will be easier for me to create an action plan that I insist all of them follow. What is your biggest weakness? My biggest weakness is I can't say no to people I automatically say yes when people ask me for help or assistance even if I don't have the capacity in my work schedule. This weakness is because I don't want to let people down. However I am learning to be more mindful of the need to assess my work schedule to ensure I have the scope for additional responsibilities before saying yes.

I'm not sure to be honest. What's on offer? So tell me what are your salary expectations? I conducted some research before applying for this position and the salary range is between $24,000 and $28,000. I believe I am worth $28,000 based on my skills, knowledge, experience and the value I can add to your team. For $28,000 I will make sure you see a positive return on your investment. What's something you didn't like about your last job? I actually loved working for my last company. My employer was great to work for and they were very supportive. However they did not take advantage of the opportunities that were present in the industry and I found this slightly frustrating. So for example I kept putting forward ideas for new products and marketing strategies but my manager wasn't interested in exploring them because he was too busy and I felt this was a missed opportunity but other than that I really liked the company and I enjoyed my time at Wastow. Do you have any questions for us? Yes I have just one question please. How much salary is on offer? Please do not ask that question in a job interview and don't ask these four questions either. That's the end of the interview. Do you have any questions for us? Yes I have just one question please. I have a holiday coming up soon. Will I be able to have time off for it? Yes I do have one question. Why should I work for you? To be honest I don't have any questions because you answered everything during the interview. Just one question is it okay if I arrive early or leave late as long as I get? Where do you see yourself in five years time? I have big plans for the next five years. My first goal is to get this job with your company, work hard, become a high performing team member and eventually get promoted. In five years I would have completed lots of training courses to diversify my skills, be an expert in my area of specialism and be a person who helps train new team members whenever they join the company. What's your biggest weakness? My biggest weakness is I can't say no to people. My immediate response when people ask me for help or assistance is to say yes even if I don't have the capacity for additional work. However I am trying to be more mindful in situations like these and assess my work.
