If you truly are passionate about HR, answer honestly and let your enthusiasm shine through! If you are applying for the job mainly because you think you qualify for it and like the salary range, think carefully about HR and choose something about the field that you can get excited about. You want to be honest in your answer and find a way to tie your passion(s) to the position and/or organization.

"My favorite part of Human Resources is being a resource and even sometimes a confidant to so many people. It's almost like being a therapist without all the medical training! I enjoy helping people, as many of us in HR do. I enjoy being the person someone in the field can call when they have questions about their vacation time or a rule in the handbook or how to access their profile in the HRIS system. The people working at your locations already have so much on their plates, and it is important that they stay focused on their jobs and the customers. If I can be the HR contact they feel comfortable calling when they have a question or an issue and make their lives a little easier, it truly makes me happy. That's why I love HR."
