Next steps

Having done the ‘matching’ task - possibly several times as you reviewed and revised your different job ideas - you will hopefully be closer to identifying career options you want to pursue.  

Now imagine the interview scenario and the inevitable question you will be asked:

“So tell me, why do you want this job?”

Having completed this course you are now better able to answer this kind of question.

So prepare your answer based on how the job matches your priorities.

To do this, refer to:

  • Your interests, skills and priorities etc as examined in the “Who you are” section of this site and
  • to your greater understanding of the job and its requirements as explored in the “Find out more” section.

Write down your answer, or even try recording it on your phone to see how convincing and motivated you look or sound. Once you are ready to apply for jobs ‘for real’, you might want to continue with our other online courses:
