But it doesn't change even if you're searching for executive-level jobs. They still want to know why you not only have wanted to be Junior VP of Marketing your entire life, they want to know why you have also wanted to be Junior VP of Marketing of ConHugeCo Industries all your life while applying to work that position at ConHugeCo.

Everyone knows the answer is "because I want this job more than the one I have right now" or just "because I need a job." Those are really the only two answers.

It's really ridiculous.

well i think half my point still stands - they want to know you're not quitting any time soon. If you answer "yeah sure i guess the position sounds nice" they're already scheduling the next interview because you ain't sticking around

but yeah, it is absolutely ridiculous, i'm not an actor, and i'm neurodivergent, navigating those job market mind games is hell
