Researching the company before your interview will demonstrate your desire to be a part of their culture and go a long way toward making a great impression. Be positive about any charities that you support and why they are important to you.

"I want to work for BMW Group because you have a reputation of being very active in organizations I support, like the 5k walk/run for heart Disease that I support. That cause is dear to me because my father passed away from a heart attack several years ago. I love the fact that BMW sponsors the Robotics Challenge every year, which allows area high school students to show off their engineering skills. I was on one of those teams a few years ago. I want to be a part of this kind of culture."

Because I have created a platform for car and bike enthusiasts, it has given me the position to be able to help the car community in ways I thought I wouldn’t be able to. For example, I have created a feature within my app, for users across the UK to report stolen vehicles, which then will be advertised to all users on my app, we have tracked down 7 vehicles since the feature was released. I do try to do my part to help our car/bike community.
