This question can also be termed as 'What brings you to us?" Interestingly, this question is asked more often during interviews for more exciting jobs, like a writer, a copywriter, or an advertising professional, etc.

This question is basically aimed at finding out whether the person who has applied for a typical exciting profession, like an advertisement professional, really knows the advantages and the disadvantages that come with the world of advertising.

You should avoid answers that state that you came in for the money, or that the job is pretty easy, or even that one of your relatives told you to apply for the said job.

The best way to answer this question is to tell the interviewer that you are interested in moving ahead in the said profession, and that you were always interested in the profession.
