<Hr>

I remember my first job as a 17-year old. I showed up at this giant man's office, probably six times smaller than him, and the way he looked at me from above, he must have wondered, "What does this tiny sick kid want a job for?"

 So someone took me to him and asked him to give me a job because I had just graduated from high school and needed to support myself. I do not remember him asking if I could do the job or not; he must have seen the desperation in my eyes and asked a few questions about why I was so small and sickly.

 I told him I was strong, but the truth was, I wasn't; all I needed was money. I worked there for a year or two, and I grew into the job; the man taught me everything I needed to know, and despite the fact that I only wanted to collect the money without doing the work, I ended up loving the job as much as I loved collecting the money. 



Nowadays, modern jobs ask strange questions like, *"Do you plan to die soon, are you from a broken home? Where do you see yourself in five years? What do you bring to our company? Are you criminally inclined?"*




Some people already prepared for questions like this and already do rehearsals of what they intend to say and all that. These responses are spontaneous and quick, with no dedication or genuine passion.

 Sometimes interviewers fail to consider this angle. When people are asked futuristic or controversial questions, they are supposed to pause, scratch their heads, and reflect before responding. 

However, this is not the case when people are conducting job interviews. Most answers are given because people want to impress the person conducting the interview. Interviewers do not want honest answers; they want impressive answers.


> To be honest, people do not want jobs where they have to do the actual work. 

We are all aware that we want jobs to support our families. For some people, working is always a bad experience. 

This is especially true if you have a difficult job and a tough boss. However, for some people, their jobs provide an escape from broken homes. Some people actually enjoy their jobs and find fulfillment in them, so they do not feel like they are working.



## We should be wiser

 In the twenty-first century, we should understand that interviews are merely formalities. The majority of the world's top jobs are already secured through connections. This is not to condemn job interviews or specific jobs. It is simply to highlight the pointlessness of some of the questions asked in job interviews.


This is why I find some questions strange, such as, *"Are you in it for the money?"* **No, I am not, I  am in it for the beauty.**


Sarcasm is often thought to only exist in textbooks and papers, but job interviews are among the most sarcastic situations in real life. 


The answers to most of the questions are obvious, not all, some. But they ask them anyway. 

 Of course, this is most common in jobs with little to no responsibilities. But in some of the biggest tech companies in the world you just have to show the skill you have rather than telling them you actually have it. Although actions can sometimes speak louder than words, this is not always the case.



I just believe that people should be able to express themselves in whatever way they want, rather than having their expressive state of mind cause them to lose the job they are applying for. Some of the most hardworking individuals are also among the most honest. People who lie to get jobs are likely to be inefficient because they lied in the first place.


Of course, we are all in it for the money everyone is, and there is no shame in it.

 I believe we must normalize the understanding that everyone needs money. There is no need to ask people if they would betray you for a million dollars, or any of the other ridiculous questions we frequently see. It is critical to understand the most obvious aspects of life before attempting to convey them to others.


## Conclusion


 Regardless of how much people claim to love you, some aspects of the love profession have limitations. It is critical to first answer some of the questions that we may ask others, because if we provide a comprehensive and honest response, it will be easier for us to determine what another person would say. 


It is always important to be realistic in life, particularly when it comes to finances. People can love money while remaining honest and hardworking. Sometimes they seem to love money because they have a greater need for it. 

Everyone will achieve a certain level of vanity when they no longer have to fight so hard for material things that will provide for them. This is also true for someone who has come from nothing. 

When money becomes a mirage, people will not be forced to choose between passion and anything else. This is simply to say that people may want money for a variety of reasons, but it does not necessarily make them bad people.
