…during your interviews as a Candidate you should never say:

I want this job because you pay more.

I want this job because of the location.

I want this job because my friend/s work(s) here.

I want this job because I need a job.

I want this job because at this point I will take any job.

I want this job because I have to pay my mortgage.

I want this job because my husband/wife lost his/her job.

I want this job because it is near my home.

I want this job because I like your commercials.

I want this job because I like the benefits you offer.

I want this job because I can just work for a few more years and retire with your pension plans.

I want this job because I just saw your advertisement.

I want this job because I know you are looking to hire.

I want this job because I like to work indoors with AC.

I want this job because you have convenient parking.

I want this job because my commute is short.

I want this job because you allow me to work from home.

I want this job because you allow me to work from home while I take care of my little kid/the twins/my mom.

I want this job because I can work from home and I miss my dog.

I want this job because I can work from home and I hate dealing with people.

I want this job because it appears to be easy.

I want this job because I won’t have to stress myself.

I want this job because I just want to have a job, do it, and go home in time.

Don’t laugh. It happens more than you know. The words may not be exactly the same, but the meaning is apparent to the Recruiter.

You have only one reason to want a job:

First, you find yourself perfectly aligned with the mission of that Company and especially of the particular job you are applying for, which you enjoy to the point that you would do it just for fun / to pursue your career in that specialty / to interact with such talented people with whom you feel you belong / as a hobby. Of course, you have bills to pay, so you need to be compensated very well.
Why: because just like you, your Employer is selfish and considers their needs first; what you can do for them, not the other way around (regardless of any claim to the contrary, otherwise they would have filed for bankruptcy already). So focus on THEIR needs, not yours, and how you can so perfectly contribute to improve THEIR bottom line.

They need four round wheels to drive their car. Are you round or square?

Put yourself in their shoes, as the driver of that car, and honestly tell us if their attitude is mistaken.
