Why do you want to work for us?
The hiring manager is trying to determine if you would be a fit for the company culture and if you would add value to their existing team. An engaged employee that is aligned with the company's mission and values will be more productive, take on more responsibility, and stay at the company longer. When crafting your response, you should customize it for the company you are interviewing with and demonstrate your knowledge of the company. Research the company and what they're known for and align your answer with something specific about the company.
"I see this opportunity as a way to contribute to a forward-thinking company, and I feel I can do so with my experience in biology and my strong interest in developing innovative solutions to environmental problems."
