Showtime Tip 7 Why Do You Want This Role

Number 7. 7 7. Why are you there? Why do you want this job? Well, it seems an obvious question, but it gets asked all the time. Possibly explain the reasons you were initially attracted to the position itself. Stress where your current skills and qualities are a match for the role. As we talked about earlier, explain where you see the role developing and how you're going to develop it too. This is another opportunity for you, a chance for you to shine. One thing to remember is do avoid aspects, as I said earlier, about money or shorter hours. These might be attractive factors to you, but someone who simply wants to move for more money, less work is hardly going to endear you to a new employer. Emphasise the positive things like career development, personal growth. Yes, you can mention improvements in paying conditions, but think about what your prospective new boss is going to think of you.
