Why you should want to work here (a recruiting story)
Keyboard Shortcuts
Ask most leaders why you should want to come work for their company and you'll get almost identical answers: competitive pay, challenging jobs, a chance to work with smart people, opportunities for advancement, etc. So since everyone says the same thing, as a recruiting tool those comments are useless. A better way is to tell a story about why you chose to work where you do, or why you didn't leave when you got a chance. In this video, see an interesting example and learn tips on how to craft a similar recruiting story of your own.
