Why do you want to work for the government?

"I want to work for the government because I am committed to working in public service and making an impact that produces a positive outcome in the lives of others, I enjoy the stability and job security of the field, and I am attracted to the diverse opportunities within it" is a good answer to this interview question.

Government employers want to hear that you are going to be dedicated to serving a specific community or society as a whole in your role, so it is very important to communicate this in your answer. You can also discuss the areas you want to work in and talk about how the job interests you. This might be related to healthcare, education, policy, or many other areas.
