As in, out of all the jobs that will pay you money, why do you want this one in particular?

"Because you're the only company out of 300 that emailed me back"

"I'm looking for a role where I can make good use of the skills I bring to the table" (because implicitly, the 299 places that didn't email back don't have a role where you can fit in and be useful (even if that's only true in the sense that they didn't hire you so therefore you can't contribute there))
