Explain your ideal industry, location and job

Why ask this question:  
This is often asked by an experienced interviewer who thinks you may be overqualified, but knows better than to show his hand by posing his objection directly.  So he’ll use this question instead, which often gets a candidate to reveal that, indeed, he or she is looking for something other than the position at hand.

Most Effective Answer:  
The only right answer is to describe what this company is offering, being sure to make your answer believable with specific reasons, stated with sincerity, why each quality represented by this opportunity is attractive to you.

Remember that if you’re coming from a company that’s the leader in its field or from a glamorous or much admired company, industry, city or position, your interviewer and his company may well have an “Avis” complex.  That is, they may feel a bit defensive about being “second best” to the place you’re coming from, worried that you may consider them bush league.

This anxiety could well be there even though you’ve done nothing to inspire it. You must go out of your way to assuage such anxiety, even if it’s not expressed, by putting their virtues high on the list of exactly what you’re looking for, providing credible reason for wanting these qualities.

If you do not express genuine passion for the firm, its culture, location, industry, etc., you may fail to answer this “Avis” complex objection and, as a result, leave the interviewer suspecting that a hot shot like you, coming from a Fortune 500 company in New York, just wouldn’t be happy at an unknown manufacturer based in Topeka, Kansas.

    1. You need to be prepared for the full spectrum of questions that may be presented. For further practice, make sure you go through the required mock interview (see the "Competitive Interview Prep" Section) and for further review, look at some of the following questions:

      1. Tell me about yourself.
      2. What do you want to do with your life?
      3. Do you have any actual work experience?
      4. How would you describe your ideal job?
      5. Why did you choose this career?
      6. When did you decide on this career?
      7. What goals do you have in your career?
      8. How do you plan to achieve these goals?
      9. How do you evaluate success?
      10. Describe a situation in which you were successful.

  3. I'd like to say thanks to the authors for such informative answer!
    Personally, I think that in the future we won't be bounded to any location because everything will be in the cloud, provided by the cloud and supported by the cloud service like Ideals data room or similar one.
