The interviewer wants to hear that you have researched their agency. You may want to work for their agency because of their stellar reputation, their opportunity for professional growth and advancement, their mission and vision statement, or their high number of cases. When responding to this question, highlight unique aspects of their organization that stand out from others.

Instead of giving a generic answer to this question, focus on showing the interviewer that you have thoroughly researched their agency. For example, if you say that you want to work for their company because they provide end-of-life care to clients and families, that could apply to many other agencies. Instead, say that you want to work for their agency because they have a stellar reputation for providing tailored health management plans based on the needs of each client.

When responding to this question, avoid saying that you want to work for their agency because they pay more than other agencies or offer a more comprehensive benefits package. The interviewer will feel that you only want to work for their agency for monetary reasons. Instead, describe your reason as aligning with the company's mission statement, reputation, or company culture.

"I want to work for your agency because you are a patient-focused agency that believes in offering tailor-made health management plans based on the client's needs. With your stellar reputation as the top workplace three years in a row, I cannot think of another agency I would rather work with."
