This is a great opportunity to really show the employer that their company is the perfect match for  you. They want to see that the role that they are recruiting for matches what you are looking for. How To Answer: Start Provide an answer that clearly displays  that you will benefit their company, they want to know that you will succeed in the role! Example 1: I am looking for a role that provides the opportunity to grow. I am always eager to learn and ready to take on new challenges. Example 2: I am looking for a new opportunity where teamwork is a significant part of the company culture.  I love working as part of a team in my current position and I would love to continue this into my new role. I hope to eventually work on my team-building abilities. Acquiring these skills will help me to eventually progress into a higher level role such as a supervisor.     How Not To Answer: There are lots of generic ways of answering this question so its best to avoid sounding like everyone else. Common Response: I am looking to progress in a big and exciting company. Yeah, they may be a big and exciting company but what can you bring to them? A Very Bad Response:  I am hoping to build my own company within the next 12 months. For the time being, I am looking for a role that is fun, easy and pays the bills. First of all, you are showing zero commitment. Secondly, You need to make sure your answer reflects what you are looking for and how this  will benefit them. A few important things to remember are to avoid mentioning salary if you tell them that you are looking for a higher salary in your new role, they will feel as though you arent passionate or dedicated to the role and that you are only there for the money. This applies to company benefits, mentioning that you are looking to work somewhere with lots of perks or more holidays doesnt offer any benefits to the company, why would they want to hire you?!
