Part 3: Why You're Here
Learn how to show your motivation in an interview self-introduction through genuine interest and alignment with the role and the company.
Introduction
The final part of your self-introduction should briefly explain why you’re interested in this specific opportunity.
It shows the interviewer that:
you’ve done your research
there’s a good match between your goals and what the company offers
What is your motivation?
When thinking about your motivation, consider one or two of the areas below.
You don’t need to cover everything — choose what feels most genuine and relevant.
Team or product
Are you interested in the kind of problems they're solving?
Do you like the scale or complexity of their work?
I’m drawn to the fact that you’re solving a real user problem at scale.
Company mission/values
Do you admire what the company stands for?
Do you like how they work or how they treat their users or employees?
I’m ready to be part of a fast-paced dynamic startup environment, like yours.
The role
What excites you about the responsibilities?
Is it a good match for your skills or career goals?
I’ve been looking for a role where I can take more ownership and this opportunity really stood out.
You don’t need to go into too much detail here, just one or two sentences is enough.
This question often comes up later in the interview (“Why do you want to work here?”), so keep it short for now and be ready to expand if they follow up.
