The company isn’t just interviewing you to find out about your skills. They want to know if you’ll be a decent coworker. So your answer needs to prove that your goals and values are similar to the organization’s, says A.P. Grow, associate professor of leadership at City University of Seattle.
Your research for the interview—grilling friends you know who work there and reading up on the latest news about the company—should give you a sense of the firm’s mission and values. Find spots where they overlap with your story and present them in your answer.
