Why Do You Want To Work Here?
So with the unemployment rates low and all I’ve been searching for jobs desperately. I finally got two interviews, one on Saturday and one this coming Wednesday. These oh so wonderful glorious interviews just so happen to be at our local chain of coffee shops and the well known McDonald’s. I’m trying to remain positive and hopeful, but since I am an over-thinker I can’t help but to be a little sarcastic. For example, “Why do you want to work here?” Of course the bullstuffed answer would be something like “It seems to be a fast paced job that will keep me busy, and the work environment seems to be quite friendly.” or something along those lines. But what I would really want to say is, “I need money, and I would be willing to clean up crap it meant making income.”
Fingers crossed though, money and Canada here I come!

“Why do you want to work here?”
I love that line. I have no idea how to answer it sometimes. But after about 50 interviews, I’ve realized what you have to say.
It must go along the lines of :
1. To become part of a meaningful team
2. To better the business
3. To do something good for people. / TO make people smile
4. To better yourself.
I think I naturally like to do shit and seek recognition though, so idk if its easy for everybody
