“Tell me about yourself” – Step 2
Why you want the job.• Show knowledge. Be enthusiastic! “I want to work in software sales because it is an area
where I can use my ability to create solid long term relationships with clients. I want to work for your company in particular because you concentrate on antivirus software which is an area that is growing at the rate of 20% a year. That gives you a solid base from which to introduce new products like Viruskill. I’d like to be part of that.”
