OUR COACH SAYS
Boeing Co. is a competitive company that only hires those who take the job seriously. One way you can show you're serious about working there is through doing your research before the interview. Boeing is America's most significant manufacturing exporter. Take some time to learn more about their mission, values and their culture. You can find out what employees are saying about them through searching glassdoor.com and searching for articles online. These efforts matter to Boeing. Explain how they matter to you too!
Example #1
"I am aware that Boeing is a highly competitive organization yet one that takes giving back very seriously. Boeing recently donated $6 million dollars in grants to support over 50 organizations that serve communities in Washington. This fact stood out to me as I am seeking to join an organization that values giving back to the communities that support them."

"Boeing demonstrates innovation by being the leader in developing commercial planes, defense, and security systems.
I saw a quote on the company website that read, “Do the right thing, every time. No exceptions.” That speaks volumes to the level of conduct Boeing represents. That is a company I want to be associated with and a representative."

"When looking for new employment opportunities, I research companies who have a positive mission, value, and cultural fit. From my research of Boeing Co. online, I was struck by the active and supportive environment. I thrive best in work environments that have a team atmosphere, and have quality products to back superior customer service. A large, fiscally sound company such as Boeing is highly appealing as well."

"I know Boeing's number one objective is safety and quality for their customers while reducing costs to be more competitive among competitors, and that Airbus is your biggest competitor. This holds a lot of weight for why I chose to apply to this company.
Our number one goal for the company I worked for before was safety and getting our workers home safe every night. I see this as an even bigger initiative for Boeing as the risk is in the customers, not so much the employees.
I also know growing up in the Northwest how much Boeing has impacted my family and others. It is a great company with amazing benefits, and everyone I know who works here enjoys coming into work every day."

Recently announced a 3 million dollar investment into the First Ladies Initiative, focused on supporting and developing women leaders."
Rachelle's Reply
It sounds like you have done a lot of research, which is great! Good recap. When you are in your interview, I recommend making the response more personal, so it doesn't sound like a list you are rattling off. For instance, you could discuss their commitment to vets or women leaders means to you.
