Why RSM?
In an article in RSM's Newsroom on interview tips, they offer the following advice: "Often in first interviews, we are simply looking for a spark. We want an applicant to show their desire for the opportunity. But too often candidates do not even know what they are applying for, and an otherwise promising meeting fails to fulfill its potential simply through a lack of preparation." So make sure you perform your due diligence in preparing for the interview, knowing the position and the company inside and out, and memorizing your resume and cover letter like the back of your hand.
How you answer this question will help the assessment vendor evaluate how confident you are that you're the right fit for this opportunity and whether you are pursuing it for the right reasons. In other words, does this job and this company feel like a strong mutual fit and stand to propel your career forward, or are you mainly interested in the money? "Cappfinity's unique strengths-based methodology identifies top performers most suited to the company's goals and culture. They record on-demand responses to a range of strengths-based interview questions to evaluate the candidate's fit for the role. [RSM's] recruiters can review, sort, and filter candidate responses efficiently online."
"I consider myself a creative and unique individual and am very artistically inclined. Some people have labeled me eclectic. But, in the typical, more old-school work environments, I have found that I am not often truly understood or provided equal opportunity or recognition for my contributions. So, I identify with the impact of your statement, the power of being understood. Additionally, how RSM views and values teamwork resonated with me, as did RSM's core values and key behaviors. So answering your question, RSM feels like the right fit for me."
