Job Interview Questions: How would you answer this question in a job interview?

Question: What led you to apply for this job?

Many people suggest just saying a "Walk-in", I find that kind of vague. Any ideas?

Recommended Answer:
"Many people" sound like idiots. They aren't asking for the physical way that you applied. They are asking why you choose to apply at their store. The most common answers for retail are because "I shop/eat here all the time," and "Because I really love the clothes/products/food here."

If they ask you that question and you say "walk-in", your application will get sent to the circular file since it will appear to the manager that you are a complete idiot with low comprehension skills.

You've neglected to tell us what field you are applying in, hence my generic answer.
