Community Answers
The interviewer asks why you want to work for their medical center to gauge your level of interest and commitment to the organization. They want to know if you have done your research and understand the company's mission, values, and culture. Additionally, they want to see if your career goals align with the medical center's goals and if you would fit well on their team. Overall, it's an opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge and enthusiasm for the organization, which can help you stand out as a strong candidate.
What drew you to the job posting and pushed you to apply? Tell the hiring manager what it is about their medical center that is enticing to you. However, you want your answer to reflect reasons other than pay or benefits, as that would make you seem more interested in money than helping others.
