The interviewer wants assurance that you have a keen interest in their store. Show that you are not just applying to any store that will hire you by expressing a few reasons why you are interested in this company, specifically. Be sure to tie in why you would be an excellent fit for them!

Your reasons may include:

- Great workplace culture
- The work hours accomodate your school schedule
- You have read great reviews online
- You have had a memorable shopping experience at their store
- You know someone who works for their company
- Their mission statement resonates with you

"I would like to work at your store because my best friend has worked here for the past two years and she always talks about how amazing the workplace culture is, and how much she loves the team and customers. I appreciate her referral on my behalf, and I look forward to delivering exceptional experiences to your clients."

"I have shopped at your store often, over the past couple of years. Every experience is better than the last, and so, when it came time for me to start applying for work post-graduation, your store was the first place that came to my mind. I have a true appreciation for what you do here."

"Your store is an industry leader in the XYZ retail space, and I see many career growth opportunities for me here. The fact that you have 15 locations, worldwide, shows me that your organizational structure is strong and I look forward to bringing my existing industry experience to work for you."

"I've read good reviews online from employees who have worked for your store. I would like to work in an environment that treats its employees well. I like the fact that you are a large chain, and while I don't plan on moving in the near future, if I do perhaps I would be able to easily find employment at another store."
