Why do you want to work in...

I am trying to answer the question of "why do you want to work in the service industry?", which is a question from my employer(interviewer?). Can anyone can help me point out any errors or some disadvantages? If you have any opinion on this question, please let me know. Thanks a lot.

 

Here is my answer (not satisfying to me ~~LOL)

 

To begin with, I love meeting people and dealing with them. I really enjoy the interacting with people. Secondly , I also possess good interpersonal communication skills, which would prove helpful in this position. Thirdly , In addition, I am always eager to help people resolve any issues they may have encountered. Doing so which is a huge inspires and satisfies to me.

 

Writing tip: please pay attention to punctuation. In many cases, you got it wrong. It seems like a minor point, but to an employer it looks careless.

Another tip is to use verbs in place of nouns, and active verbs in place of static verbs (eg. I worked as a receptionist sounds better than I was a receptionist). It makes you sound more intersting and more like a go-getter.

I've replaced some phrases with a more businesslike phrase.

Also, I agree with Daniel's comment about avoiding "firstly, secondly, thirdly". In a longer essay they work fine to give some structure, but in such a short answer it looks like you are "ticking boxes", or that you don't know how to put sentences together. A minor point again, but it would make your employer think differently of you.

Good luck in your application!

Why do you work in the service industry? You gave a partial answer. You like meeting people. You like communicating with people. You should want that they not necessarily get what they ask for, but what they need. That they can incorporate the results into their lives in a meaningful manner. Even help people to be appreciative.
