Hi,

Hmmmm, I wonder if you are overlooking the simple answers because you are worrying about needing somevery impressive and fancy answer?

For example, if your friend asked you, 'Why are you applying for that internship?', what would you say? You must have some reason in mind, otherwise you wouldn't be applying.Smile [:)]

Try to write something, and we'll try to help you, OK?

Best wishes, Clive

Well, the only reason why I'm applying there is they only require a high school diploma or currently enroll in college which I quality for both.

Why do do you apply at Premier Designs? ....??? (Don't know much but I think I should research about this company and say something about it?)
Why are you applying for that internship? Because I want to gain knowledge and experience.

Hmm... What more can I put? Thanks

Hi,

I'm trying to apply for internship in accounting and I'm not quite sure how to answer this.

Why are you applying for an internship at Premier Designs?

I think I should research about this company and say something about it Yes, good idea. Show you have done some work to get ready.

Maybe also say how you want to get some practical experience in the real world of every-day accounting, ie get outside the classroom.

What would you like to learn or accomplish in your internship this summer?

Learn to work as part of a team?

Get experience wih some specific kinds of accounting software?

Learn from working beside real accountants?

Good luck with this, Clive

Ok, so I went to their website (premierdesigns dot com) and it doesn't have much info or what I was looking for to supplement the question. In your situation, how would you answer such question?

Hi,

I read this on their site.

Premier Designs, Inc. was founded in 1985 and is located in Irving, TX. We are a Direct Service Company currently serving more than 24,000 Independent Distributors across the United States. Premier takes pride in the fact that we are Biblically based and put more emphasis on people than sales.

Do you want to work in and learn from a company that has grown amazingly in a brief 20 years? Then tell them that in your answer.

Do you want to work for a company that has a strong moral and people-oriented basis? Then tell them that in your answer.

In other words, read the information on the website and try to pick up ideas from it about what you can say.

Best wishes, Clive

another tip:  don't lift phrases straight out of their website.  Be sure to put it into your own words.

this is my answer

I know that my qualifications will help to provide your company requirements.

I believe the internship duration will be a great experience for me and Premier Design.
