Remember, your interviewer isn't looking for a skilled candidate who wants this job and identifies with the culture, mission, and advancement opportunities within the company. "The possibilities are extensive to develop, learn and grow and we always reward those who do a great job. This is a place for people who work hard but also want to have fun progress in their career." Additionally, onboarding new employees is an expensive and time-consuming endeavour for any employer. Therefore, they would rather not repeat the process by hiring someone who sees this as a short-term solution to an employment gap. So, assure the interviewer that you see long-term career potential with Dnata. Research the company online to discover any opportunities for future growth. Perhaps they have multiple departments or locations. Where do you see yourself growing within Dnata? Be enthusiastic when you discuss your long-term career plans!
