How do you usually answer when interviewers ask why you want the role/job? I feel like I want to stay honest but often times my honest answer isn't the one they want to hear.

My honest answer would always be I want the job because I need the money for food and rent. That's a little too blunt, of course, so I usually default to how I like the work and the organization seems like a great place and so on. Better to make it about a promising future than about impending poverty.

Haha yeah, im sure companies know we're working so we can live our lives outside of work. I just want to be able to sound like im in it for something other than the money without being fake.

For that question, I think it would be best to research the company and say somethign that would be specific to them so they know you’re in for the long haul

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
