2nd Answer Example

This is a common interview question that every Bombardier interview candidate should prepare for. Your interviewer wants to know specifically why you want to work for Bombardier and what value you feel you will receive if offered a chance to join their organization.

It is important to convince your interviewer of three things when answering this question. First, let them know that you believe Bombardier is a top choice for your next professional opportunity. You don't have to lie if they aren't your #1, but it is important to convey that you're impressed with the company and consider it a great opportunity.

Second, offer your interviewer a specific example of how the role at Bombardier aligns with your professional goals. Bombardier is invested in hiring top talent and their investment is best when they hire candidates who can achieve their goals while working to develop products at their company.

Third, it is helpful to offer a specific detail of why you want to work for a company that lies outside of your goals. This may include your belief in their values, or your desire to share in their rich culture. You may even mention a friend who works for Bombardier and thinks you'd be a perfect fit.

"Bombardier is my top choice because the products you develop are exciting to me from a technical perspective. As a systems engineer, I am intrigued by the cutting-edge technology projects I would be working on and the talented teammates I would be working with if hired. I feel I could leverage my current flight control and landing gear skillsets while gaining experience in environmental control systems. Finally, I was really impressed with the culture and values of Bombardier when I researched the company."

"I want to work here because Bombardier is a top-rated company and there are numerous opportunities to grow my analytical and customer service skillsets. The role of IT Service Analyst excites me because I would be working on systems I am knowledgeable of while taking more of an active role in working directly with customers. Finally, I have a friend who currently works at Bombardier and they speak very highly of the company culture. For those reasons, I look forward to the opportunity to join the team at Bombardier."
