How did you hear about this position?
It costs companies a lot of money to advertise their job openings, and they want to hear where most candidates heard about the position to see what works the best. Also, some companies offer their employees a referral fee if they recruit new candidates who are then hired. Describe how you heard about the position, and be sure to name the employee who referred you, if applicable.
You want to avoid saying you cannot remember where you heard about the job opening. If you cannot remember, it shows that you do not pay attention to detail or are forgetful, which are not good qualities to possess as an excavator operator.
"I heard about this position from the website Glassdoor. I set up an alert when new jobs are posted for excavator operators and received an email the day your company posted the job."
