Position

After an open-ended question about yourself in an interview, the employer always asks the following questions: “Why did you apply for this job?” or "Why are you interested in this position?"
Employers ask these questions to check if you have thought about your career and if you know what you are looking for. They want to work with someone who has thought about their career path and where they are going. If your answers seem unsure, employers will assume that you do not know what you want, and will likely end up changing your mind, not enjoy the work, get bored, and eventually quit.
Employers don’t want to hire candidates who are applying just to get a job. They want to hire someone who has the skills and experience that they are looking for and who wants to work for their company. An online search of their website and brand and a detailed study of the job description can help candidates to show that they understand both what the job entails and the company. In addition, a detailed research shows effort and the candidate’s sincerity to work for the company.
