QUESTION 2 OF 35

What is your ideal company to work for?

Before applying to any job, you should research the company to see if it is a company you want to work for. Hopefully, your ideal company is the one you are interviewing with, and you can describe the company's attributes that make you want to work for them. Focus on describing the work culture, room for advancement, the company's mission statement, and leadership style in your response. The interviewer wants to hear that you describe their company as the ideal place to work.

You want to avoid naming a competitor that is your ideal company to work for or mentioning your perfect company is one that pays the most. You want the interviewer to feel that their company is the ideal company, and that is why you applied for the position.

"My ideal company to work for is yours. I have wanted to work for your company for the past three years because of your reputation, safety record, and how well you maintain your equipment. I have a friend who works for your company, and he constantly talks about how well you take care of your employees and how you offer on-the-job training for those that want to advance their careers. Your company culture and mission statement would be a perfect fit for me, and I was excited to see this position open up."
