This is a personal question that allows the interviewer to understand what is important to you and what you're seeking in your next role. Consider things like work-life balance, teamwork, and collaboration, strong leadership, ability to make an impact, growth and development, advancement opportunities, etc. Avoid speaking negatively about a previous employer or mentioning things like a toxic work environment or poor leadership, and try to focus more on the positive perspective of what you're seeking, not leaving behind.

"As a new graduate, I'm looking for a stable organisation that is an industry leader in technology and patient care standards. I feel like the NHS is both of those things and would provide several opportunities for growth and development as I gain experience. Another aspect that is important to me is finding an organisation that I align my culture and values with. I did research into the NHS's core values, and I was very pleased to see that I closely align with all six."

"As a mid-level experienced occupational therapist, I'm seeking an organisation that can provide growth and leadership opportunities. I love mentoring new graduates, therapy assistants, and aides, and I would eventually like to move into a more formal leadership role. I'm currently with a small facility where there are not a lot of advancement opportunities. Another aspect that is important to me is a culture of collaboration. I want to be a part of a team of therapists, physicians, and other clinicians that put the patient first and works together to achieve common goals and patient outcomes."
