It is a powerful question.\u00a0 Yet, many don’t like the question.Were you taught not to ask “Why?” \u00a0Did someone tell you to use “Why?” sparingly?Yes, some people are defensive when asked “Why?” \u00a0Others are not. \u00a0Frankly, I think if you want to search for facts, \u00a0“Why?” \u00a0is a very \u00a0powerful question.Asking “Why?” can help you discover information more quickly and in the process accelerate your search. \u00a0If you want to determine if a position or organization is a good fit for you, ask “Why?”<\/p>\n

When considering a new position ask yourself the following five “Why” questions<\/strong>. \u00a0Remember to answer with facts, not interpretations.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Why do you want this job?<\/li>\n
  2. Why this job at this organization over any other job?<\/li>\n
  3. Why didn’t you know about this job before today?<\/li>\n
  4. Why will you be more successful at this job in this organization than at your past position or a\u00a0previously applied for\u00a0posting?<\/li>\n
  5. Why will you pursue this position and be successful?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These “Five Whys” are helpful in many situations. \u00a0The questions (and subsequent answers) allow you to get to the issue, arrive at a decision or gain a better understanding with speed and clarity.<\/p>\n
