If you're applying to a company and they ask: "Why are you interested in this opportunity?" Focus less on what you need the company to provide for you: - Need better work-life balance - Need flexibility - Need remote work - Need better compensation And focus more on what you'll bring to the company: - Align with your mission in X way - See your company's mission as bridging an important gap in X - Bringing X knowledge and experience - Would love to utilize my background in X to improve Y Be interested in solving problems for the company vs. leading with ways you expect the company to solve problems for you. ... P.S. a good company should absolutely be working toward solving problems for you and supporting you in all the ways I mentioned above... this is just a tip as you apply! ⭐️ #applyingforajob #applicationtips #solveproblems #othersfocused #recruitingtips

8moGreat advice Whitney. In your experience, what is the best way to learn a department's goals/mission when you are looking from the outside? Just rely on what they put in the job posting or is there a good way to connect with someone to find out?
