Daycare Worker Question:

Download Questions PDF

The employer is asking this question to get a sense of whether you would take the job if it were offered to you, and how long you’d be likely to stay for.

While it might sound like an opportunity to talk about yourself, it’s actually the time to demonstrate to your potential employer how much you know about them.

With this in mind, expressing your passion and excitement to work for this particular organisation is a must!

Avoid vague answers like “it seems like a great place to work”, and get specific.

Do your research so you’ll know about the various projects the organisation is involved with, who their clients are and what their plans for the future are (most annual reports on an organisation’s website can tell you this).

For example: “I know you’ve just launched a program focussing on working specifically with young people with mental illness and that this role is linked to that project. I’m extremely passionate about mental illness and have experience working with young people so I would be very excited to be part of your work in this area.”
