ESLPod.com presents "Interview Questions Answered," episode three.
Hello, I'm your host, Dr. Jeff McQuillan, coming to you from the Center for Educational Development in beautiful Los Angeles, California.
This series is designed to teach you the English you need to know to have a successful interview.
We'll first listen to some tips on how to answer our question, and then we'll listen to and explain two sample answers for the question.
Our question in this episode is: "Why do you want to work here?" Let's begin with some tips on answering this question.
Your goal or objective in answering this question is to show the person interviewing you that you know a lot about this company and that what you have to offer-your skills and qualifications-match their needs-are the things that they are looking for in this job.
So, it's very important, as our first tip, that you find out all you can about this company, including the specific department where you would work and the people you would work for.
Every company wants their employees to be knowledgeable about their company-to know about their company.
And, if you do some research-if you do some looking to see what this company is and what you will be doing at this company, you will show the company that you are interested in their company.
So, the first thing to do is to find out as much as you can about this company that you are interviewing for.
You want to research, or look at or investigate, the company's products or services and the positive things it has done for the community or the society.
You want to know what this company does. What do they sell? What do they produce? What do they do?
The more you know about that, the more you can show the person interviewing you that you are intelligent enough to know what this company is,
and you are interested in it enough to know what the company does.
Most US businesses have something called a mission statement.
A mission, "mission," statement. A mission statement is the same as the purpose.
