How do you answer 'Please give your reasons for making this application'?

Answer 1

You might also investigate the mission statement of the company and refer to the importance of that to your decision. Many of them refer to integrity, caring for the customer above all else and so on. You can give examples of your experience in that area.

The reason for formal applications is not to see if you've qualifed for the job, but to see how much you pay attention to details. They don't want lengthy answers, they want answers to be short and precise.

An answer could be:

My skills facilitate that I am able to make quick, sound decisions, and I am more than capable of adapting to any situation reflected by my previous experiences and training.
