What to look for in an answer:

If the candidate’s passion matches with the job they have applied for.
If the candidate is able to clearly explain why they want this job and how this is going to add value to their personal growth and reaching fulfilling their dream.
If the candidate has done research about the company and is able to relate their passion with that of company’s passion (if not exactly same, small similarity will do)

Red Flags to Watch For:

If the candidate says that getting this job is their biggest dream.
If the candidate’s dream is way too opposite to the job they have applied for.
