When crafting your response, you will want it to be customized to the company you are interviewing with. Design a response that demonstrates how your personal goals are in line with the values of the organization. It's critical that you take the time before the interview to learn everything you can about the company. Visit the company website and read the About Us section, check out their social media accounts to get a sense of their culture, and search for press or articles about innovative things the company might be doing.
