Online Application Questions – Please Answer!

Sometimes you might be asked to fill out an online application for a job, a course or an internship. These normally include the question why exactly you want the position you are applying for.

This is your first chance to stand out from the crowd and the employee’s chance to see if the applicants are truly interested.

We have the same system for our training courses. We ask the question why a person is interested in pursuing a career in new media marketing. And surprisingly, a lot of times we get one sentence answers that are all something to the extent of ‘Because I like it.’

Now that gives me a lot of information to work with and makes you really stand out in the most positive way. Not.

You should treat these questions like you would write a cover letter. Take some time and really think about why this job is important for you and why you are the right person for it. These are likely to be the first impression you get to make. Use it!
