'Why do you want this job?' Singaporean business owner shares how not to answer this question in interviews"Why do you want this job?" is an oft-heard question during nail-biting job interviews. But what should be the correct response?In a clip posted to TikTok on Saturday , he dispensed some advice on how to handle the tricky query.
Elaborating further in the video, the 44-year-old business owner shared that the idea to share this information had popped up when he was interviewing a candidate for a role in his company. "The best way to answer this question is to talk about the actual responsibilities in the job and how you have been doing something like that. Or at least show that you have been doing the preparations so that you can take on the role," he said."Because none of the employers really care about you wanting to change something but rather how can you come on board and firstly execute the responsibilities they're given and.. guarantee them that you can do these things.
In comments to the clip, some viewers expressed gratitude for the valuable tip, while others were sceptical that the reply sufficiently addressed the interviewer's question.
