The key in having a successful job interview is to be prepared. If you were asked the question, "Why do you want to work for our company", then you need to have a ready answer right away. If you were unprepared for this question, then it would only show that you are not genuinely interested in joining the company you are about to join.

The first thing that you need to do is to start a profile check on the company. You should have an idea on how the company started, how it is doing in the market at present, and its possible plans for the future.

You may give out general answers like "I believe this is such a good place to work", but it would increase your chances to get the job if you would be able to specifically identify the reason or reasons why you wanted to join the company.

In answering the question, you should keep in mind that all interview questions aim to find the best person fit for the job. With this said, all things that you would say should have this particular concept in consideration. When asked about your past work experience and skills, you should convey that you are the right person for the job.

In answering this question, "why do you want to work for our company?" you should be able to show that you know a great deal about the company that you are about join. Not only should you get enough information on their company background, but you should be able to know their line of products as well. Knowing the vision mission of the company would also help you know their objectives and how you can contribute to the growth of the company as a possible new employee. If you are well informed about the company that you are about to join, then it only means that you are genuinely interested to be part of the said company.

Another tip, it would not hurt to give out a few flatteries. You can praise the company and give out good points. Remember to keep your flatteries at subtle level for too much praise would certainly backfire on you.

Another way of answering the question "Why do you want to work for our company?" is to say that you are looking for a better career move and the company that you are about to join opens opportunities that would improve your worth in terms of work. In return, you can help the company with your work experience and skills.

Lastly, you should keep in mind that you should give your interviewer the impression that you know a great deal about their company. You, on the other hand, should prove to them that you would be a productive and useful part of their company. Always show them your interest and your willingness to be an active player in achieving the company's objective.
