You have likely chosen a career as a Front Desk Associate because you're naturally friendly and are keen to help people out. This helpfulness, combined with other hard and soft skills, makes you great at your job! Communicate to the interviewer that you are passionate about your work and that you're not one to fizzle out after a short time in the role.

"I have always desired a career in hospitality. I enjoy helping people in person and over the phone.

You sound very enthusiastic about this role, which is great! Your answer may be more suitable for a question like, 'Why should we hire you?' or 'Why do you want to work here?' With this particular question, the interviewer asks why you are choosing a career as a front desk associate. Some options would be to discuss what you enjoy most about working as a Front Desk Associate while talking about your related long-term goals. I have provided a starter for you below.

"“I am naturally outgoing, friendly, and am very skilled at relationship building. I am also very customer service oriented, and have strong interpersonal skills. But I also have an analytical side and have a knack for accounting and bookkeeping. So this unique skill set seemed to perfectly fit the ideal requirements of serving as a front desk associate. I feel like I am really good at it, and doing what you’re good at makes you happier. Providing helpful information and advice to the public seems like a perfect fit for me, and I have no doubt I’d make an impact here.”"
