Not only is your interviewer aiming to identify candidates with an "entrepreneurial drive," but also those who are searching "for opportunities that may be a good fit." Also, in order to align yourself in a sincere manner as their ideal candidate, identify in yourself those particular traits they are looking for, familiarize yourself with how they describe their employee-owners. "We're people you want to work with- not just because of what we can do, but because of who we are."

"Because I've always had an entrepreneurial mindset, and because I am not looking to find any old job anywhere. I have a job now. I think Burns & McDonnell should hire me because I it would be a good fit for everyone, and would likely be an enduring, mutually beneficial professional relationship."
