I’ve been very pleased with your performance since joining the family 30 seconds ago. How would you feel about joining our management training program? Double the work for 10% more pay. I’m so proud. Can I call you son?
I failed out of school in kindergarten but I know double and 10% mean numbers going up so I’ll say yes. And since you’re so nice about it I’ll even do half the work for 10% more because I’ve seen those numbers on cartons of cream and I know the cream rises to the crop or something, which is good.
“Well I want this particular job because you called me back for an interview and the others didn’t”
I mean, sure, if you don’t want to try any other answer to help convince them to hire you out of all the other applicants.
“I can eat a standard pack of instant noodles in less than 30 seconds”
Hired!
Cooked or uncooked? Either way, you seem like a good fit for the team.
Baked dry and then snorted through my tear ducts.
Thanks boss, I look forward to designing 2 stage rockets with the rest of my equally qualified coworkers!

“I want this job because employmesayswhat”
“Why did you apply here and not every other company in the world?”
“Because I am capable of doing the work and can commute to the work location in a manageable amount of time.”
Valid answer.
“Sorry, you must not have heard me; you called me back for an interview and the others didn’t.”
Not exactly what they’re getting at. This misses the point entirely. You applied here. Why?
Desperation is a valid answer.
