Job Interview Questions & Answers
Prepare for the job interview
Here you can find questions & answers to them from HR experts
When a hiring manager asks these specific questions, they are trying to determine if you are a good fit for a particular position. By asking this question, the interviewer most likely already realized that you are too qualified for the job you are applying for. Clarify the interviewer’s concerns. Another reason why your hiring manager asks this question is that they do not want you to feel bored with this position or expect a far higher salary than they intend offering, and then look for a different position in another company.
They want you to grow professionally in this position. Mention in your answer that you are not overqualified but fully qualified. Your experience has helped you develop, allowing you to focus on what's important to you at the moment or the position you're applying for. With a little preparation, you can turn this question on its head and demonstrate the benefits to the company of being given the job, instead of just focusing on why you want it. Hiring managers value honesty and confidence, so be sure to avoid being shy in your responses.
