While you’ll likely get thrown a few curveball questions during your interviews, there are some basic interview questions you should expect.
One of those questions is, “Why do you want this job?”
If you don’t have a good answer for this, you can kiss your chances at getting hired goodbye.
What you need to do is showcase your connection story.
What do you respect, appreciate, or admire about this company, over ANY other company? Show them that you want to work here for more than just a paycheck. Show them that you have a personal connection with it, which is a big part of the reason you’re pursuing the role.

I answered “because y’all hiring” 😂😂 still got the job lol
Was it a fast food restaurant
Def wasn’t a career. McDonald’s hires anyone bro.
Exactly wirelessking it sounds like it was a mg Donald’s or fast food restaurant lol smh 🤦♀️
😂😂😂😂oh. Boy hahah 😭
WirelessKing noo haha no they don’t . I’ve seen a lot of people being interview and not too many get. Hired
I love how one-sided being employed is now. I'm supposed to be emotionally connected to the company, dedicate my life to the company and they lay us off based on one potato, two potato...
Correct.
Yeah I agree in the whole thing's stupid
They expect loyalty to be a one way street.
Thank you. Exactly!!!

Ive done HR and Recruiting for 16yrs and I NEVER as those corny scripted questions. All you're doing is encouraging people to lie to you. I believe through dialogue, not Q&A you'll get all the answers you need from a potential candidate. Ive learned when a candidate is comfortable their true self is revealed. When they've remembered prepared answers to prepared questions its just an act. Of course you have to ask basic question especially about previous work experience. But I'm not asking anyone "why do they want to work here" or "why you are the best person for this job" or "why should i hire you". That's so 1960's and 1970's.
those three questions are part of the reason I keep going back to the idea that suicide seems more logical than attempting finding a job. I get sick thinking about being asked those questions. I am glad there are people who don't do that to people but because I don't know how to deal with those effed up questions I can not even bare applying anywhere ever. I don't know how to find out who doesn't do that to people. I think there is likely 10 to 20 percent of jobs maybe a little more that the person has a connection store with. there really isn't any place that has a connection story for me and I can understand that question for a high up position but I have been asked on min wage jobs,
@@gettintherejanice6216 I understand. When I relocated to Florida after working 15 yrs with the same company, I ran into these same silly questions when looking for a job. And it can be depressing. If 15 yrs of experience isn't enough for why I'm the right fit, then I don't know what to tell you.
Wow 16 years! you seem to be young and I admire the work efforts in HR you have chosen to put your mind to.
I do believe those questions can be mundane, so your initative to do something different is probably more enjoyable for you then the potiential candidate. Laughing a little. Im sure people like to at least feel prepared.
@@shanellvioletslecarr2689 I'm going to take that as a compliment...(-: I started fairly young in HR as a clerk right out of college. I do recruiting till this day and I can sense when people get in front of me they are terrified what I'm going to ask. But I assure them I want them to feel comfortable and to relax. They walk in terrified and walk out relieved that it wasn't an interrogation.
All Wings Everything thank you!!
Because I want nothing more than to serve you, my liege.
😂
😂
😂😂😂
Physics Only ... You’re hired !!
😂😂😂
The answer is simple....
Because I'm passionate about not starving.
Let's be honest, in most cases you won't have an emotional connection to a company you applied to work for.
lol
LMAO
good joke.. but please don't use that at interview LOL
@@GhostRider-xi3pb i actually want to know what response the interviewer would have lol
If I was a hiring manager I wouldn’t even ask this question.
YES this is the most underrated comment ever
True. I want this job because I believe I can continue to make a difference and I am confident I have the qualifications that matches the position as well as the personality.
Forreal. Yall hiring that's why we apply cause we need the money lolol
The question "why do you want this job" is ridiculous. Money. Only reason ever, all others is a lie. If a company doesn't want you to leave then they need to pay well.
Nice, there you have an answer to WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTHS. You are an honest person :D
Chris Patrick... absolutely. I would have remained employed cleaning offices of there was a purpose. Long story short. I NEEDED MORE MONEY. Such as respect and honesty. The concept of ensuring I can also pay my car note and service bill to get there, take care of my family, and have benefits they employed in the documents. Keep employees excited and enthusiastic about what they do and appreciate them as people alongside the pay.
@Chris Patrick...I disagree. "Money", answers the question "why do you want A job", not why you want this particular job. While we all want to earn enough to support our preferred lifestyles, I believe there are as many if not more people that are willing to accept less to do work that they love, as there are people who spend their precious, short lives doing work that they hate, because it pays well. There are so many other factors that come into play as well, such as location, flexibility, benefits etc...so I'm not sure if you were just trying to be funny by over simplifying it, but wanted to comment just in case.
They also need to treat you right.
@@RealChunka I can relate to your comment... But for my situation.. $ is one of the key factors contributing to why I would choose a specific job or career. Secondly, I applied for it because I feel deserving of it; thirdly, I went to school for it. I only apply to jobs I feel confident in doing that would benefit me my family and my lifestyle immediately and the way I see it is when the training is accessible and the pay is acceptable will speak volume. I must have the financial and the knowledge to be productive. With no money I can't get there, function in the company, nor become mebtally and financially stable.
Question why did you choose this position? Um because it was posted and I was browsing the description that said will train🤔. I will gain a niche later but right now I have a car note and utilities to pay and children to care for
"Because my current job has driven me to drink, and if I stay much longer, I may end up killing myself"...
LMAO ... seriously
MONEY IS THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE WORK
That's irrelevant, the question is directed at a specific job
yet, but sometimes its not the only reason
That’s the only reason working is a thing... so people can make money...
Maysie The potato we can consider it as a only reason when u do something that u don’t like.but what u like what u are doing that means u have 2 reasons for doing it(money and love )
@@maysiethepotato7765 you're missing the point completely. Why do you want this job is not the same question as why do you want a job
Why do I want this job??
Because I need money!
What am I supposed to say? Because I love being a wage slave?? SMH
the secret tip: tell them what they want to hear and sound genuine about it.
i believe thats the "secret tip" to LIFE in general.
a person with anxiety or mental health would not be able to answer that question with such confidence. Also. Everyone goes to work for one reason and one reason only, the money.
Girl, I feel you. I've had mental health issues in the past, but I'm working through them. You know what I'm finding out? Positivity can actually go a long way! I try to keep it simple and only focus on the things I have control over: myself and nobody else. But it is working!!! You have to speak life into your own life: I can do this. I am smart, capable, and balanced. I can make and reach goals. Everything will not change in five minutes every time you do this. A lot of times it actually will tho. Or if not in five minutes, five hours, or five days, or five weeks. But you need to set your self up to win more by believing you can win! I believe in you. I'm gonna be praying! Have a blessed day!!! ☺🙏🌱💖
Why do you want this job ?
Well, the other day I tried this awesome thing called food and thought it would be nice to afford it daily...
Its too bad simple answers like this wont get you a call back lol
@@kcthewise 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Unless you're a volunteer, your chief reason for applying for a job IS the money. That might not be the best answer to give to that question, but if an employer thinks that their company is so amazing and does such positive life-affirming work that prospective employees are lining up around the block to "make a difference" - they drank the KoolAid. Employees are there so they can continue to afford to eat and have a roof over their heads. Every employee would prefer not to work at all. Think of the popular conversation topic 'what would you do if you won the lottery'? No one says they would keep their job. Certainly nowhere near the majority of employees would want to keep their job. To pretend otherwise is delusional.
What do you recommend one would say to get on at a candy store or gas station. Obviously these are not the best jobs but they seem to ask these questions too.
warmgulfwind it’s not always money based
I think these days companies don’t value their employees. It’s rare to find a company that does.
warmgulfwind I agree. Banking, seriously 😐 lame answer at best. She should have used her position as a template. I guess that she doesn’t want to loose her position to any of us looking for advice.
P
I want this job because food stamps don't pay rent and bills.
There are movies like “office space” for a reason. Truth is, most of us work to live, not live to work. So it’s a loaded question. Much like the useless STAR interview questions. If you are working for someone else, you are making their dreams come true at the cost of your time, in which we have a limit amount. Simple answer should be, so I can get the skills or capital to start my own company.
yeah, you should.
Yeah I hate this question. I have seen it on the application before I have interviewed! Why not flip the script? Ask the interviewer
“ why do like working here? Why do you choose to stay here?” This is an honest response imho.
That's a good question but not a good response to their question. If you said that as a response to 'why do you want to work here' you most likely will not get the job
Tezwah one uses their response to then answer the question. Its a Jedi trick.
@@tonymoore7805 nah, you just don't get the job because you gave a silly answer to a serious question. But whatever floats your boat!
Tezwah your missing the point. Good luck answering that question when you know nothing about the company.
@@tonymoore7805 I think you're missing the point mate, if you go for an interview and you know nothing about the company you've already failed.
Simple... I need to eat and to pay my bills...
Anything else is just fancy talking and lies
Edisson Gomez right...nothing can be true except for money, food, stay alive
Thank you!
Let's be honest, most of us are lying to the establishment on why we want to work there.
I think it's pretty useless thing to ask, especially for an entry job. This hurts a lot of chances for autistic people since they just speak their mind and take things literal.
That's just my opinion. Good video!
Half the battle is showing the company that you have prepared for the interview, although you're right there's a lot of deception it still shows initiative and effort if you prepare
@@Tezwah it's discrimination against those on the autism spectrum
@@directorbeau no it isn't. Autistic people can still prepare. It would only be discriminatory if no allowances were made when the answer is given
@@Tezwah yes, we need to be prepared to talk about our experience, skills, expertise, what we can bring to the table and how we can be useful to the company. But wasting time by having to recite crap both sides don't believe in to reply to a question that shouldn't be asked in the first place is a waste of time for both parties.
@@vp3841 you are just not understanding the purpose of the question.
I’m on the other side of the table and am now a hiring manager, I can say this is 100% true. I had 2 well qualified candidates but could only choose one. I went with the person who had the better answer to this question. I did phrase it a bit differently “why do you want to work for us here at Apple” and the more genuine answer who did more research and had more thought into their answer got the job. Definitely made me think that they cared enough to prepare.
Can you please do a video on how to land a job when you are a minority? No matter what people who don't live as a minority say, It's harder. I have a "normal" name, am a good communicator, and have a degree and a lot of freelance experience in my field so hiring managers call me a lot. I do well on the phone interview, am invited for an in-person interview, and then never hear back. I can instantly see the look in my interviewer's face the moment I walk in looking "different" than expected that he/she isn't seeing/hearing ME, just how I'm different.
Define minority. I'm a minority and land jobs with no degrees or certificates.
@@AlfredoPachecoJr Probably reeks of self-pity when interviewing. I've worked with people like him. They believe there's a person behind the curtains keeping them down.
Interviewer: why do you want this job?
Me: I'm broke I saw you were hiring so...here I am🤷🏿♂️
I had an interview and it was great and then I asked 'how much does this shitty job pay?' and it was done and over.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
No you didn’t

😂🤣😂👋🏾
Good advice, I have a Master's in HR, not sure about the emotional connection though, if you are applying to a company who has posted a position in which you feel qualified. Most of the time you match your skills with the job description and elaborate on those skills, it's not necessarily an "emotional connection".
Same!
Looking for employment has never been an issue until now. I’ve always been blessed with a career. Thank you thank you thank you for the tips you provide. They are helpful and useful and I’m beginning to see that I am not as prepared as I thought I was until now.
Rhino Pierre ugh duh your WHITE”🤭😶🧐
@@dozenroses4859 it's harder to get a job now if you're white because of forced affirmative action employers must hire a select # of minorities.
@@dozenroses4859 🤣 true
My answer was " gonna be honest . I never heard of u guys before. I dont even know what you do really. I need a job, you are hiring. The puzzle piece fits. " they laughed said that the most honest answer I ever heard. I got the job and 11 yrs later still working there.
I just realized I dont want this job anymore
Your help with answering this question took me back to when I was a young boy. I'm currently applying for a sales manager position with a company that sells and installs elaborate home theater and sound systems in homes and businesses. As I mentioned, when I was young, my parents loved listening to music of all types. So, we didn't just have a record player, we had a sound system! It had big, crystal clear speakers. It had a finely tuned stereo receiver, and not only could we listen to records and albums, we could also listen to the radio! In any case, I think you get the point.
Answering questions focussed on what might be of interest to the employer is a great tip. I recently answered, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" by giving a completely self-centered response. It was true to my goals. However, I could have phrased it in a way that really highlighted how the professional growth promised by the prospective position would have been an important part of my journey to where I wanted to be. The hope is that the employer would see that the position is more than just a job but part of who I want to be.
Great insight. Thanks!
If I ever go after another job, I refuse to put on a face. I would say, "I'm here for the money. But in order to get this job and the pay that comes with it, this is what I have to offer you." It's not an emotional connection. It's a trade of the use of my time, skills, and dedication for their money, plain and simple.
)I’m not here for the money or to pay my rent , I just love screwing on doll heads in this toy factory just because i love to help my community .....

I am interviewing for a position that I’m really good for in behavioral health. These tips and tricks are going to help me get that job. I thank you for these videos so much! I want to be the advocate for my clients that I know they deserve! We ALL deserve to peruse our dreams and know our needs are met while doing it! Thank you for helping us help others!
“Why do you want this job” is, often, a trick question. It forces many to lie. Many people are working in jobs they hate because they went to the interview and lied about why they wanted the job.
It was not to stay and make a career out of it. It was to pay bills.
Authenticity in interviews is rare, both from the interviewer and the person being interviewed.
If everyone was authentic then people with mental disorders would not have a job
I appreciate how easy you make it for viewers to come up with their own answers. Your examples are short and to the point.
Great advice. Story-telling is a key element in marketing and that is what you are doing when interviewing. You are marketing yourself. This was an terrific reminder! Thanks
I love the way you speak. Even though you made up the scenario, the way you phrased your answer was so heartwarming - helped me so much in phrasing my answer!! :) thank you for the video.
Thanks to you! I got the job. First time that I watched you is all about the cover letter. I wrote something really nice because of you and I nailed my answers on the interview just an hour ago specially on this question. You deserve a million subscribers.
Would you please tell exactly what did say!!?
please update us on what you said if possible
I think this applies for dream jobs but sometimes you gotta provide for your family and you’ve been out of work for 5 months. At that point, the reason just isn’t that deep, especially when you’re submitting 4-5 resumes a week to various companies for months through search engines, competing with anywhere from 300+ to 1,000 other resumes per job. It comes down to creating reasons why you “want” this position but it’s really about the paycheck, in most cases.
I was looking for something to prepare myself for an interview tomorrow 🤪 and you appeared! I love your vídeos, how you communicate and give us great tips! ❤️ Thank you!
Thanks Celia! Good luck on your interview! Let us know how it goes :)
Celia Curillan H Quick question. Did her advice give the slightest assistance in obtaining the position that you were seeking 7 months ago?
White letters on teal background = difficult to read.
Is the shirt blue, or brown? Lol
It's at the very least uncomfortable too
Thanks for making this video, and the comments are hilarious.
The comments are the best and very entertaining. i don't usually scroll down on comments this much, but you guys are funny.
Helpful YES....
Last week, my store manager had a meeting with all the Specialist. At the end of the meeting that very same question was asked.
I believe I nailed it 😁✌🏾
These replies are so savage. I thought I was the only person that felt this way
Thank you. I am returning to the workforce and just bombed a 15 minute phone interview and now I see why. I prepared for the wrong questions.
Every question have to be answered with a lie,....
Facts
That's why I hate this question
Wilmer Padron because life is a lie
Just had to answer this question.... it was asked online , if I get asked in person I’ll point out that there are videos mocking the question and answer and in an effort to be honest my response is that I understand there is a potential to meet 2 needs: the company needs a worker and I have what they need to offer.
It’s my opinion that an interview goes both ways, if the potential employer doesn’t meet your needs you need to make that choice of not taking that job. Unemployment is historically low for a reason, tons of jobs out there. Keep this in mind guys even the interviewer has to meet a job goal, to find people to hire and often they have some pressing need to get that done too.
Wen I went to an interview the manager said we need a responsible person, who is always on time with a GED or higher education, at least 2 years of experience well train never said no wen ask to work holidays, weekend's and overtime a person who can handle a lot of pressure with knowledge in computer, he said a lot of requirements for the next 8 or 9 minutes wen he finish sayin all the requirements for the position I ask how much would they pay he said, we pay minimum wage($10.50 per hour)and a bonus every Christmas. I was thinking to myself really you guys want all that and pay minimum, and then I left
Smart move because most companies used the workers and many stupid people stay because they cant see themselves successful
@J OneLife you must be lying. I get job interviews everyday. You dont want to work
This was extremely helpful, and honestly made me feel great about the interview I just had because I answered in a response similar to this one. Thanks so much for posting!
I loved your video ❤️ thanks for doing this. I had a hard time reading the letters ... white blue with white letters but I do know you made it with your heart to help us out. Thank you 🙏 😊
I always answer "I thinks that's why we are here, you are trying to decide if I am right right for this position and I am trying to decide if this is a company where I would fit in and contribute."
After the interview process I always follow up with a thank you email with an answer to that question.
How could you express an emotional connection to the interviewer if the company you are applying manufactures lubricants for automobiles?
“I really like lube “
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You can demonstrate with your answer that you understand the value they offer customers who choose their brand because of what sets it apart. Even automotive oils differ from one another in the details of their formulation and compete to give themselves the best edge in the market. Show that you understand their Brand A is unique so offers higher value than some other brand, and that you have benefitted from or seen costumers benefit from that leading edge. Try that.

@@Falconsfan1020 hiring managers are entitled dumbfucks
Lmao funny but true
Often this question is thrown for one of two reasons. 1) as a warm-up to the interview, because many people have created good answers to the question, and the question can be seen as a warm-up by the candidate, or 2) they are an untrained interviewer (often not from HR) who are not sure what to ask, but found this question when they did a quick Google search.

What I like about this video is her explanation as to why interviewers ask "Why you wan this job?'" I never thought of wondering why.
But sometimes you are applying for a job you know nothing about.. and aren’t applying at a bank you’ve been using for 10 years. 😵 basically fake it til you make it

How do you find a place that is hiring, pays well, and that you are passionate about?
She starts the video by saying she's been a career coach for many years but is amazed at how often ppl are obsessed with trying to answer curveball questions. I'm more amazed that she's even amazed at this. It's those simple questions that are the true curveball questions. The questions that when answered "honestly," you failed. There's a formula/way to answer these "basic" interview questions & that's what makes them so dam difficult. Hence why ppl obsess over trying to answer them
It's 100% for the money

Thank you for the example. But how do you answer this question if you don’t have a connection with the company you’re interviewing with?
You lie, like every other question.
Maybe you can flip it on the feeling of how you could assist with making the company better. When you do your research and you see numbers like assisted 800 people you could say, "I saw on your website that you assisted 800 people with me as a team member I can increase that by 15%. It may not be true, but they don't know that... yet.

Yes for 10% of the jobs in the world they’re to make a difference. The other 90% is to pay rent and have food
Because I really feel like being told what to do.....😒
Because you asked I’ll comment. You describe what I did inadvertently 30 years ago. I wasn’t that smart but just happened to do what you’re suggesting. It led to a job that I’ve held for three decades.
Your answer is so authentic and true. The emotional connection. Great job.
Thank you! I just landed an interview for a dream job for this Monday morning, but I haven’t worked in a little over 5 years (busy having / raising kids) so as thrilled and excited as I feel, I’m also so nervous and intimidated! I don’t want to mess this up. I haven’t interviewed for a new position or with a new company in over a decade, because I worked for my last one for so long. Your advice on the most basic question to go ahead and share some personal reasons instead of giving a generic answer is helping to inspire confidence and formulate an appropriate answer that is also genuinely heartfelt. So long ago, the advice to “be professional” was centered around basically removing yourself and your personality and the goal was to come across as neutrally as possible. Things have really changed, apparently. I’m relieved because I was nervous that my excitement might show through but it seems from your advice that if a little enthusiasm sleeps out for the company specifically that would be ok. Phew! What a relief!
Congratulations!! We are thrilled to hear you landed your dream job. Keep us updated and don't hesitate to reach out with further questions 😀
Very helpful videos, not only for what's being said but also because the facial expressions are on point ! Eye contact and constant smile are definitely skills to learn, practice and master to pass interviews successfully.
Both the company and potential employee are looking for the perfect fit. The employer has the advantage bc they interview dozens of candidates for a single position. I’ve had that perfect connection interview once and it was great. I already had connections with the company and knew I’d be a shoe in.But it was mostly a dialogue based interview with almost no standard questions like this. For those that don’t have any connection other than “I bank here and they’re nice” is going to be very challenging and puts you in the pile with the rest.
The answer is; I'm strong advocate of not starving to death. Lol
i really want this job as i hear you have impeccable skills to micromanage your team and this sort of autocratic leadership skill leaves me with a lob-on. Am I hired?

In one of my interviews, I was asked a question, which I couldn’t answer it whatsoever. I believe it was the main reason not to get hired.
I hope you could give me an answer so as not to make the same mistake again.
The question :
While you work in a company, and your manger (unqualified) takes all your efforts and credit for himself, what would be your reaction? Would you keep quiet? Or would you go to higher manager and tell them? Or would you quit?.
Appreciate your response.
Sarhang Abdul Samin easily do nothing, just say we both work as a team and for the same objectives, and the most important point is to achieve the objectives. However, you can talk with him freindly to send an appreciation and thanks letter to you in order to feel more motivation to perform more tasks in a better way in future. So the email you recieve from him is a record for your achievements which can be used as reference for any future jobs.
Danial Mohamed that is really helpful.. appreciate it a lot.
Tying the job/career field tona story as to why you want to work there. I never thought of that.
It’s a great fit with my skills and interests. 🤷♀️
Now I understand something I didn't understand before I wondered why the company I currently work for held on so long during the hiring process I Was sure the job they were offering me Would have been given away by then Now I see that my connection story was very compelling I currently work for A-day care that used to have a Hebrew school on Sundays the that I attended as a child I express how much I missed the building Thank you for helping me understand this it means something to me
Thanks. This was really eye-opening. Looking forward to using these tips in my next interview
You're very welcome! Let us know how your next interview goes :)
The most helpful part of the video was outlining that they want to know what they can get back from you since they know you're going there to grow your career and earn income
Its too bad that most of the people who are really good at playing in your dog and pony show have no flipping idea as to how to perform on the job. I have seen very little connection between the interview process and actually finding good people.
Wow!!! this is amazing, thank you!
I started watching this 4:34min video about 15 minutes ago because I had to pause it at different points to take down the notes and to reflect on your tips and wisdom. The best part was when you mentioned about "Share connection Story!!" I had to pace a few laps around my office, looking out my window to absorb all that!!
i wish i had these tips when i was younger
i think i once came across as too ambitious and they could probably tell that I would have left for a better opportunity, needless to say i did not get that job but, it makes sense now. Thanks.
