Your interviewer is curious why you want to work for United Airlines over another airline. They're not interested in recruiting just any qualified candidate; they want someone who feels like an ideal fit to represent their brand to their customers. How you answer this question will inform them whether you identified something unique that United Airlines has to offer your career and whether you would potentially contribute to their employee retention versus attrition. Explore the value propositions they advertise on their careers site, of which there are many. For example, they advertise that they are growing as a company, "In the years ahead, we'll hire tens of thousands of people across every area of the airline. Our careers include a one-of-a-kind place to work. Are you ready to travel the world?"
