"In my recent job search, I researched companies based not only on location, job requirements, and benefits but also their mission statements, company goals, and dedication to their local communities. I have been impressed with the way your company has carried itself over the past year and a half and managed to stay busy and retain most of your staff. I look forward to adding my talents and leadership abilities to the strong traditions and framework that you've spent years building."

Describe your desired criteria with typical company characteristics, such as location, benefits, company stability, and company growth. Keep your criteria positive. Research the company you're interviewing with beforehand so that you can tailor your answer to their specifications and attributes. Be creative. Don't give the same answer as every other candidate; put yourself out there and stand out from other candidates.
