Why do you want to work for UPS?

I was just asked this during an interview a few days ago. It's a pretty common question at most job interviews to ask you why you want to work there. Don't say for the benefits. Don't say for the pay. Don't say anything else that doesn't have to do with them. Make it about that company...ALWAYS!! Remember, you need to sound excited about this question and show why you think UPS or anywhere else a great company. Do a little research. Here are some things I said about UPS during my interview.

I said I want to work for an industry leader because UPS is the world’s largest package delivery service. I told em I admire their commitment to helping the environment with their carbon neutral program, (I looked this up) where customers have the option to pay more for their shipments to offset carbon dioxide. I mentioned that with the growing amount of online shopping I felt that UPS is in the right industry for growth and that I enjoy the challenge of working in a fast pace environment.

I will see how it goes, but researching the company has always helped me in the past. Remember people want to you to sell yourself to them and also why you love what they do. It's about them.

You're right it does always need to be about the company and come back to that. It's not what they can do for you but the other way around. Show them your passion and you will be golden!
