Their security is too tight.
I'm in the middle of job interviews right now. I hate this question so much.
I want to work here because I need money! WTF are you talking about??? Are you a real human??
The only panel that's wrong is the answer to "why this company in particular"
It should be "your company gives more currency in exchange for service than your competitor"
At least in the US, you don't typically know whether that's true or not until after the interview when (if) you get an offer letter.
Haha then how do you know which companies it's even worth your time applying for?
That's the thing. You don't.
To be fair: A lot of people don't hate their jobs. Of course, if someone asked me the question in the panel, I'd think they were over-doing it, but it's a completely fair question to ask someone why they think this job could be something they enjoy.
Specifically, employees that enjoy their work are less likely to leave the company at the first opportunity. Hiring people costs money, so it makes sense to choose a candidate that is at least to some degree passionate about what they'll be doing.
They want "passionate" workers because they're easier to exploit.
Nobody's "passionate" about mmWave infrastructure, Brian. Nobody's gonna take a pay cut for that.
Mid-range communications is very cool, and several people are passionate about mm-wave infrastructure.
But they are usually not passionate about random companies either.
"I just really really love propane and propane accessories."
There was this guy on COD warzone who was a certified propane inspector and was a blast to play with, people would spend the whole game learning about how everything propane related was or not up to code
So yeah, there are people who love their job, enough for that to seep into videogames
There's a simple solution to everyone loving their job:
Work should be optional.
You don't see retirees volunteering for tasks they hate. Inb4 scrubbing toilets; I'd prefer to design toilet-scrubbing machines instead of toys for rich people.
