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 help the community, that could apply to many other agencies. Instead, say that you want to work for their agency because they enable more of the population to achieve permanent housing than other similarly sized agencies.

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 your mission statement and values align with mine. My goal as a Social Work Supervisor is to aid in rehabilitating parents who are separated from their children so they can be reunited with them. I strongly believe that families need to stay together, and your mission statement explains that clearly."
