If you haven't already, customize your five-year career plan just as you would customize your resume and cover letter to this job opportunity. After thoroughly researching the company online, explore other job opportunities they've posted that might appeal to you yet which you may not yet be qualified for. Create a realistic time frame you'd imagine you could reach those goals, and try to envision a career path moving forward at Workday.

If you'd be happier in your current position, but feel there is room to grow and develop professionally, in ways that Workday could help facilitate, whether through mentorships, training, or further educational opportunities, take note of it. Whatever feels right about the idea of working at Workday, volunteer it.

"I want to work for a company that encourages innovation through trusting their teams to be self-managed in their work, giving the freedom to do what they do best. I want to work in an environment where everyone is happy and excited to be there, and has fun working together. I want to have the opportunity to grow in my career at the pace I am capable of, knowing that I will achieve the goals I am setting out to achieve. After reading everything I have online, from connecting with everything the company has to say on their website, to checking out Workday's Glassdoor reviews, I feel like Workday has to offer everything I am looking for in an employer."

Avoid mentioning the pay or benefits, as that will only send the message that you are only in it for the money. This will lead them to assume you'd be up for the highest bidder, and will likely salary springboard to another job elsewhere, given the opportunity. This type of employee attrition is exactly what they are trying to avoid.
