    Mk.. so Im filling out job applications and I've noticed everyone of them have this "why do you want to work with our company" section.... and its like.. why do people usually want to get a job? so they can have money right? but Im debating.. should I bs some answer and be like "cause your company is god.." although I truly do most likely hate them....

    put that you feel the experience will teach you a lot about blah blah blah (ex: customer service, money handling, etc) that will greatly help you in the future.

    When I was being interviewd for my summer job they asked me why I wanted it. I BS'd and said that I wasnted to learn more about Ukranian culture in Canada (ok, so that really isn't a lie, but it doesn't really matter that much). But then I was like "ahha, and I also need a summer job"

    Put down some bullshit about saving money for university, they'll eat it right up.


    Graduating to jops without application forms is such a plus.

    they want to see if you have at least hte potential to have more commitment ot the job than for just a paycheque... to see if you'll actually stick around if the offer for another job that pays a smidge more (continuance commitment.. just for the cheque)
