Job Interview Questions: What do you say when you go to a job interview and are asked "why do you want to work here?"?

i can only think of one part, for example, if its like toys R us, you would say something like "well, i like toys and..." but the second part is what i'm having trouble with.

i have a job interview with family video so if asked, i would say, "well i like movies and" but thats all i got, what should the second part be?

Questions To Ask In A Job Interview - 5 Simple Questions To Make Yourself Shine



Recommended Answer:
say you gots to get paid say
i like toys and i gots to get paid
so i come for the money but stay for the toys
that way they know you'll be sticking around a long time because the toys aren't going away
same with the movies

i like movies and i gots to get paid
i come for the money but i stay for the movies

this has worked for me but i usually wait until i have the job before I tell them this

I don't know how well it will work if you tell them this before you get the job

hope that helps you and good luck in your interview

  • Liking movies isn't an asset for employees at Family Video, although you can add that for the sake of humor after answering the question seriously. Why do you really want to work there? Is there some goal you want to achieve? Are you saving up to buy a car?

    Perhaps you can just say that you believe working at Family Video will provide you with the kind of experience that will be beneficial to your current, as well as future goals and aspirations.... plus, I like movies.
