I really hate "why do you want to work here?" Uh, because my unemployment check doesn't pay the bills, and unfortunately I haven't won the lottery yet. Inane questions deserve sarcastic answers, but of course I have to mumble what a great company they are. Argh.

You are FAR from being any type of "loser"! You are a good person, and the world doesn't really appreciate such people. THAT is the really sad part. Ya, it's crazy, we have to make up so much b*llsh*t when we go to a job interview, I don't think there is a shovel big enough to handle it all! lol. Usually I feel really weird after I come out of a job interview, like "..I said ALL that?!?!?"..lol. It's really just a big scam...like you said, you mumble what they want to hear. It's actually a pretty degrading feeling now that I think about it..ha! Thanks very much, because what you say on here is much more meaningful then the crap they try to pull over our eyes!
Best,
Jay :)
