A :As an industry leader, you have an excellent reputation. Your internationalism is also very appealing, as I hope to work overseas at some point. I have also heard that you invest in your staff by taking good care of them and giving them excellent training. Furthermore, in such a large company, I hope that there may be prospects for career growth and advancement in the future.
I have heard people talking a lot about your company and always dreamed of becoming part of it. (我一直聽人說起貴公司,也一直夢想能成為你們的一員。)
After doing some research on your company, I found that your company's goals are rather impressive, and I know this is the company I would like to work for. (在搜尋過一些有關貴公司的資料後,貴公司的公司目標讓我留下深刻印象,我知道這就是我想效力的公司。)
回答時除了說明公司有哪些地方吸引你替它賣命之外,也要強調自己有哪些能力或經驗為該公司所需:
Your company is known for excellent customer service. I have five years of experience working with customers, so I understand the importance of establishing good relationship with customers. (貴公司以優良的客戶服務聞名。我有 5 年與顧客工作的經驗,因此我了解與客戶建立良好關係的重要性。)
