Well, first of all I would forget about any comments regarding the company\'s performance. Three resaons for that:
1. First, it just sounds a little bit condenscending to me. The person applying for a job is supposed to \"sell\" himself/herself and not the company they are applying for.
2. All companies want you to think they are the BEST - there is no need to emphasize it.
3. Also by saying that you\'re applying because the company is doing well, you are planting a small seed in the boss\'s head who will definitely wonder what happens if they don\'t do as good ....are they going to lose you? You obviously don\'t want them to think anything like that.
That\'s just my point of view but you call the shots here so you have to decide for yourself.
