“Why do you want to work for us?”

Honest answer: cuz you pay and I got bills!

Politically correct answer: because I believe in your mission and share the same goals and objectives, and so I think we can help each other make it happen! (Throw in some random stuff like a charity project they did or something)

It's basically a practice to see if you can lie through your teeth and be polite simultaneously. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- Because you're hiring.

- I have a deep passion about not starving to death.

Good point.

Do they have free coffee ? Well that is the reason why

Real answer I gave once: I ran out of money so I don't want to be unemployed anymore.

Money

Coz crack is so expensive these days

"I heard and know for a fact that you will let your employees work in peace and respect their boundaries without having to deal with bullshit day in and day out and pay us handsomely for doing the job"

First off I wanted to talk to that guy who left this company in order to get a better understanding of your question.
😉

I don't. I plan to only work about 4 hours per week. The rest of the time I will stare at the screen zonking out. Meanwhile in my head I play Candy Crush.

Because i'll get paid for thins that I normally do for free. Besides, there's not much else to do. I can't wait to start on cloud native solutions ready for the future. Integration is my second name

"why do people typically want to work here?" idk. did they tell me anything about themselves? somehow anytime I hear people mention this question something tells me the company didn't even sell themselves to you

"oh, interesting question. sell me on your company! do you like working here and why?"

what I've actually said before: "oh it seems like an alright place" 🤷, do believe I got hired with this one

You have money. I want some of that money. I will trade my skill and experience for it. But within limits. And with a likely chance of getting more of that money, and more prestige and time off, the more value I provide.

@electrineer *MLG and airhorn noises* Ooooooh

"i'm feeling generous, and you look like you could use it"
