Before you apply for a job, you should research the company to find out all you can and see if they are a company you want to work for. The interviewer wants to know that you have done your research and to hear your reasons for choosing their company. When responding, the interviewer will determine if you would be a good fit for their team. If the company has won awards for its work, has excellent customer reviews, or has other achievements listed on its website, include them in your response.
