Stay away from a specific job. You cannot win. If you say the job you are contending for is it, you strain credibility. If you say another job is it, you plant the suspicion that you will be dissatisfied with this position if hired. The best is to stay genetic and say something like A job where I love the work, like the people, can contribute and cannot wait to get to work.

Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for. If you do not have specific experience, get as close as you can.
