Answering the Why Do You Want to Work Here Question

Episode 117 of Interview Prep with Fexingo breaks down the most common trick question in interviews: 'Why do you want to work here?' Lucas and Luna walk through a concrete example from a real candidate who bombed it, then rebuilt their answer using a three-part framework: company research first, role fit second, cultural resonance third. They discuss how most candidates get it wrong by making it about themselves, and why the best answers show you've done your homework on the company's actual challenges and goals. No generic fluff, no 'because it's a great company.' Specific examples from a recent hire at Stitch Fix illustrate how to weave in a specific product critique or strategic insight. The hosts also cover what to do when you're interviewing at two similar companies, how to handle the question if the role is a stretch, and the one sentence that turns a mediocre answer into a memorable one.
