What is our mission statement?
Before any interview, you want to research the organization and find out all you can. The interviewer asks this question to see that you have done your homework and can answer questions they will have about the agency or the job description. The mission statement is generally found on the agency's website.
Focus on keeping your answer brief and concise. It is best to memorize the mission statement so you can answer this question with ease.
