"Why do you want to work for our company?" - Be prepared to hear this many times Sophie. :))) Most employers will ask this question. It gives the interviewee a chance to say a few things about the company to which they have applied. "I want to work for XXX because it is an established company with over 150 years of trading. XXX is a market leader with over 65% of the market share and I would be proud to part of the success story that is XXX" - This shows that you have done a little research into the company before your interview. It helps the employer differentiate between those who just turn up and expect to get the job and those who are willing to make an effort and put the work in. I know it's a ludicrous question and the real answer is, "I want to work for XXX because I need to eat and I have bills to pay!", but employers don't want to hear this. And because each job has so many applicants, this is just another tool to cut the numbers down. After all that... I wish you every success in your search for a new job Sophie! Good luck! :))
