How do you answer 'Why do you want to work here' on a job application?

Some ideas:

I am interested in being a part of this industry I like your company's product/service I have heard positive things from other employees I am a satisfied customer I feel that I would be an asset to your team

How to answer "Why do you want to work for this company?"

This question gives the employer an idea of what really matters to you. Did you bother to find out any information about the company? Employers want to feel special or "chosen". Make them feel as though you have exercised discretion and good judgment in selecting them.

Here is some more input from other WikiAnswers' users:

  • It does depend on the job but if you just say something like "I want to start being more mature and paying my way" or "I want to take responsibility."

  • I would answer like this: "I would like to work for X Company because I have an interest in X (whatever the company industry is, for example, food service, nursing, law, etc.)" If you find the company industry or business is unappealing, walk out without filling out the application. It is always better to work somewhere you have at least a small interest unless you are desperate for a job. In that case, follow the advice in the first sentence above and hope you will learn to like it.

Answer

It's a source of income, and people need money to eat, have a place to live, and buy clothing. Getting a job somewhere (such as working at Starbucks) will provide cash for the necessities and wants of life.
