How will you answer this question? "Mr/Ms what is it about this company that interests you most to work here?" Use STAR method for practice.

That really depends on the type of company and position I am applying for as well as my knowledge in that area. However, based on this question I did learn what the "STAR" method is and for that I thank you. Thanks for the post!

Great ? CW3 Dylan E. Raymond, PHR After researching your company I would use that information to state what it is I like about the company. Understanding the basic facts and relating it to tasks I have been able to accomplish in my personal growth. Equating it to actions and give quantifiable results.

I am 4 months away from transition and really appreciate these type of questions. If you are available I would like to get any assistance in my pursuit of employment.

Yeah the STAR thing seems to be the flavor of the month in hr lately. It doesn't seem to stop us from hiring people completely unsuited for the job though. It is hard to get good engineers/technical people right out of college and have them function well in a high paced manufacturing environment. A lot of them seem to not want to get their hands dirty. This causes much more stress for the more experienced engineers. What do you think good questions would be to ask an engineer interviewee that you would be allowed to ask in an interview?
