      How to Answer

      This is a typical question you will likely receive early in the interview. By the time you've been invited to the interview, the organization has already verified your qualifications for the position. The interview is meant to confirm these qualifications and discover how well you will fit into their company. Organizations prefer people who are passionate about both the work they do and the companies for which they work. Your answer to this should support both of these.
