Hamas or Shoppers drug mart - who can even tell?
As I say every time I see this joke, it’s a stupid question when McDonald’s asks it, but a good when when more advanced or complex jobs ask it. A person who is passionate about science is a better candidate for a job at an engineering firm than someone who isn’t. Plus, the question, done right, is asking “why this specific company” rather than why do you want any job. “Why FLIR instead of Tesla?” is a very different question than “why McDonald’s instead of Burger King”.
Even then, the true answer is probably “I applied to a bunch of places because I can expect more than half of them not to even give me the courtesy of an email, you’re not special.”
Exactly right. Corporations need to understand that workers apply to a bunch of places that are likely to hire them and workers have to understand that the company has received probably hundreds of applications for the position. Nobody is special until 2 actual people have & maintain a relationship.
But we all lie about it so the question is futile.
Like of course I’m going to be passionate about “x” when interviewing somewhere. If I didn’t say it I don’t get hired. Ergo…
Direct and straight to the point. No bs lol!
