This is a common interview question, asked to help a hiring manager determine what you are looking for in your next job and whether you would be a good fit for the position your are being interviewed for. To impress your interviewer, try to do as much research possible about the organization and focus on why you think you would be a good fit. Your interviewer will want you to be seeking a challenge, so be sure to discuss an aspect of this role that you may not have experience with during your career and you are more than willing to tackle if hired.

"The first challenge for me would be to step into a new industry and learn the ins and outs of compensation there. As you can see from my resume, all of my career in payroll and compensation has been in manufacturing and I'm really looking forward to broadening my horizons and learning a new industry like yours. I have several compensation colleagues that I've met at different events who are thriving in your industry and they all find this work challenging and fulfilling."
