Question 12 of 30

Many companies are currently hiring CNC Operators. Why do you want to work for our company?

"I want to work for your company for many reasons; however, the most personal and compelling include your safety record and the fact that I have two close friends who have worked here, and they have only positive things to say. I have spent a lot of time researching and getting to know your company, and I see that your safety record is unmatched. This partnership would be mutually beneficial in the sense that I put safety first in all that I do. I have a strong reputation as a seasoned CNC Operator who takes the time to care for my equipment. I also encourage my co-workers to take pride in their work by following best practices. Should you choose to hire me, I will make enthusiastic contributions to your productivity levels and will offer an unwavering commitment to safe work practices."

      How to Answer

      If there are numerous CNC Operator positions available in your area, the hiring authority may want to know precisely why you are interested in joining their company. To deliver a sincere and specific response, you will want to spend time understanding the role and researching their company. You will also want to put in the time to ensure that their company's purpose and the environment are a good match for you and your needs.

      While your passion and excitement for the job are essential factors, it's always good to have some hard stats prepared. For instance, saying 'I have heard great things about your company, and I know I would be an excellent fit for this job,' is not very specific. Try to find some information related to the company's accomplishments. Mention specifically how those accomplishments made an impression on you.

      - Research the company
      - Highlight a unique talking point
      - Show enthusiasm for the company's growth or recent efforts
      - Discuss how the company's efforts and success tie to your career goals
      - Mention how you will contribute, should you be hired

      If you think you have the right response, ask yourself honestly if the answer can apply to any other company. If the answer is yes, it's time to get more specific.

      It's important to note that 'Why do you want to work for our company?' is a question often confused with, 'Why should we hire you?' Be sure that you answer this question distinctly. Focus on your work-related passions, desires, and how the environment of the company, and growth opportunities they present, align well with your career goals.
