applications forms...

[dan no1]

When an application form says "Why do you want this job?", what should you write, because I don't think that "because I need the money" will make my application stand out, or will it...? lol

All jobs pay you money, just think why you want THAT job (and not just because it pays you more money!!). Write something about the type of job it is, career move, experience, enjoyment, interested in the role,etc.

As someone who recruits staff, if someone answered that question with �because I want the money� I probably wouldn�t employ them. Yes, it�s an honest answer, but don�t forget that employers want someone who will enjoy the job, be motivated, and stay for a while. That�s what you want to get across in an application � that you have motivation, skills to bring, and an interest in the work.

Good luck!

It must be the most rubbish question ever to ask.

Just reply "because I want to work for a dynamic company like yours and have a valid input towards its future success".

Load of old rubbish may as well ask what did you have for tea last night lol.

I would write something like that: I have applied for this job because I think that this company can give me the opportunity to use my knowledge and past experience, to offer me a challenging and motivanting job, the chance to work with specialists.As I am a serious , responsible , hard-working and qick learner person I think am I suited for this job.
