I always love getting a question about "Why are you interviewing for this position?" and replying "I got an email from your internal recruiter".
The follow up is usually "Why do you want to leave your current company?" replying with "I'm not, your recruiter said this was a cool place".
- seattletech 6y agoYeah that just drives me nuts. If you're recruiting, you're trying to sell me on the position.
- Zippogriff 6y agoImagine if we did this for other things. "Why do you want to sell me this apple?" "Be... cause... I grow apples? To sell? And you said you want one, and are holding money?"
- jacquesm 6y agoHilarious. There's a car salesman joke in there.
- plorkyeran 6y agoPresumably you don't schedule an interview every single time a recruiter contacts you, so there the question is more of "what made you say yes to interview with us?"
- redisman 6y agoFrom my experience that answer also means you won't be going forwards so it's just a waste of everyones time. I guess you're supposed to feign immense interest in this cold-call interview.
