I want to work in an environment where I can use my presentation skills to help the company increase its client roster. It’s important that I work in a fast-paced environment, because I like being busy. I want to work somewhere where employees are recognized for their contributions. Based on some research, this candidate is able to describe both the job that she’s interviewing for and her potential employer. By showing that her ideal fits with what the job requires, she shows that she is the perfect fit for the position.
Never Say: “I want to work in a clean office with good lighting. I prefer to be on a lower floor. I really don’t like cubicles.” Even if this candidate had done her homework, and this was an accurate description of her potential employer’s offices, this answer doesn’t say anything about the job or her qualifications for it.
