接下來在這兩個單元讓我們一起解析幾個非常經典的面試問題。來聽聽問題背後的意義, 跟要怎麼回答才能真正打動面試官。

Why are you applying?

The real questions:

What can you do that we need you to do? Do you even know what we need you to do?

I’m applying because my skills, experience and motivation are the best fit for the job.

Example:

When I read the job opening, I knew immediately that my skillsets in advertising would fit this position and what the company needs. I would also like to develop my training skills in advertising further more in the future at this company.

I have worked with and trained 100 employees so far on how to work with clients and help them promote. I would love to put my knowledge to use here.

I really enjoy working at the current company but I know I have much more to offer at your company. Your commitment to the environment aligns well with the major work I’ve done with corporate groups to become more sustainable.

With this answer, we hit = skills, experience, motivation

❌ Employers don’t want to know

I’m here for more money.

I want more vacation days.

This is closer to home.
