At some point in the interview process, potential employers may ask you why you are interested in working for them. “Why do you want to work here?” It’s a common job interview question, but often candidates make the mistake of providing a simplistic answer and miss an opportunity to impress a hiring manager.

They are trying to determine if you would fit in at the company and if you would add value to their existing team.

Other ways of asking the question include: “Why do you want this job?” "Why do you want to join our company?” “Why do you want to work here?” So, as you prepare for that job interview, it’s a good idea to actually ask yourself: “Why Do I really want this job?”

You need to prove that you’ve done enough research on the company, that your key values match the objectives of the firm, and that you will enjoy working there.

The hiring manager won’t want to hire you if you are only in it for the paycheck.

It’s critical that you take your time before the interview to learn everything you can about the company.

Consider the following steps to prepare your answer for the common interview question, “Why do you want to work here?”:

1. Research the company.
2. Review the company’s social media profiles.
3. Study the job description in details.
4. Make a list of your favorite points about the job.
5. Identify your core values.

A question that does not seem even to warrant an answer. When hiring managers ask you, “Why do you want to work here?”
They are trying to determine if you would fit in at the company and if you would add value to their existing team. An engaged employee that is aligned with the company's mission and values will be more productive and stay at the company longer. The hiring manager is trying to find out if that person is you.

When crafting your response, you will want it to be customized to the company you are interviewing with. Hiring managers do not appreciate a generic answer like, “This is a great place to work and I would love to be on the team.” Make sure to design a response that demonstrates how your personal goals are in line with the values of the organization.

Here's a great example of how to answer "Why do you want to work here?"
“I saw an article in Business Week about your new CEO John Jacobs and the firm’s renewed focus on technology innovation. I consider myself an innovator and I would love to work for an organization that’s leading the future of the industry.”
