This question is to learn more about you and why you want to work for their company. The first thing you will want to do is to express your enthusiasm for the company. Be positive and upbeat. Tell the interviewer how your skills and work experience line up with the role you are applying to. Express to the interviewer that you are ready to grow with this company and not using it as a stepping stone to your next opportunity.

I have always been interested in the practical application of scientific concepts, and laboratory work provides a wonderful opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems. As a laboratory technician, I would have the opportunity to work with a variety of laboratory equipment and techniques, which I find both exciting and intellectually stimulating.
Furthermore, I believe that my skills and experience in microbiology and molecular biology would be well-suited to the role of a laboratory technician. I am confident in my ability to accurately culture, identify, and analyze different types of bacteria, and I am comfortable working with a wide range of laboratory equipment.
