The "why" is an important question. We often look at jobs and ask what can this place give to me when we also need to ask where can I go and what can I become. We won't always find a vocation, but if we can find a job that syncs with our talents then the benefits are exponential.

During an interview, you are selling yourself for the job. This is a great opportunity to showcase your knowledge of the company you're interviewing with, and let them know how your skills and experience can benefit them. Whenever you have an interview, it pays to research as much as you can about the company and position, and use that information to show your interest in not just in getting a job, but your excitement about working for THIS particular company and department because it's an industry leader or you have a keen interest in this type of business/market. Interviewers are looking for applicants who understand and admire their company and want to be a part of your company continue its successes, rather than hiring someone who may be skilled/experienced but is just looking to stay employed or doesn't like his/her current job.
The interview is about creating a connection to this prospective employer and showing them why this team and company will benefit from hiring you. They are looking for someone who is motivated to join THEIR team and can help them achieve their goals.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like the formatting problem is a browser issue. It looked fine in IE, but terrible in Firefox. I'm cleaning it up.
