When asked 'why you' interview questions, it's common to answer in a way that focuses primarily on your desires as a job seeker. However, when approaching this type of question, it's essential that you consider the benefit to Ernst and Young if they choose you for this internship position.
You are pitching yourself, and the interviewers should receive clear, stand-out reasons why you are the top choice Intern. Take some time to think about your best hard and soft skills and consider how they benefit EY. Consider the factors that this firm looks for when choosing internship placements. EY asks that you 'Bring us your open mind, your energy, your definition of career success. Your passion amplifies our purpose, so together we can build a better working world.'

"I understand Ernst and Young looks for Interns who believe that mindset is just as important as skillset. In addition to holding exceptional grades and showcasing a consistent dedication to my educational success, I also show empathy to others. I am inclusive and bring an open mind to every situation. I have boundless energy and will bring an endless curiosity to this internship by seeking learning opportunities at every turn. As a creative thinker, I naturally question the status quo. I am unafraid to jump into new tasks, make mistakes, bounce back, and learn from them. I will come to EY ready to absorb the valuable training and experiences my leaders are eager to provide. Should EY choose me for this internship, I will bring a strong sense of pride to my work and help amplify the goals of this firm."
