The interviewer asks this question to see if you have researched their agency before your interview. Before any interview, you want to do your homework and find out all you can. Read the agency's website, job description, and social media, looking for their mission and vision statement, the organization's CEO, the clients they serve, and how they treat their staff. The more you can discover, the better.

Since the interviewer specifically asked about the agency's mission statement, focus on providing their organization's mission. You can usually find that information on the job description or the About Us page on their website.

Avoid not knowing the agency's mission statement. If you cannot answer this question, the interviewer may pass you over for a candidate who has researched their organization and is better prepared for the interview.
