How to answer interview questions

If you keep following this blog over the next few weeks, you will be able to build up a list of answers to typical interview questions.

Today we shall start with , "Why do you want this job"?

If you were truthful you would maybe say, "I have been out of work for six months and I am so desperate I will take anything thats offered, even this crummy low paid dead end position".

But, as we know, you don't tell the whole truth at interviews.

You must tell them what they want to hear.
A better bulls**t answer would be, "I have admired your company for many years and have always wanted to work here..
I think that it offers me the chance to develop my career further".

Or

"I have heard lots of good things about your company and and when I saw the ad for this job I was really excited and felt it was too good an opportunity to miss".

Better not give them the answer one of my friends gave. "It's dead handy. I just live round the corner".
