Okay. Good. So you sound motivated to pursue this opportunity. Now think about what they are looking for in a candidate. How do you match what they're looking for? What opportunities do you provide for them? Do you have a specific career path in mind? Simply by exploring their website you can find their key phrases, their pain points, and a description of what their ideal candidate looks like. So perform your research and incorporate these points into your answer. For example, their first blurb on their career page states, 'Start your future now. Whether you’re just beginning your career or taking it to the next level, we have the right job for you.' So use some of these terms in your answer.
