Do you want to learn how to wittily respond to the words why, why? Read the article, it has some cool options.
People often ask the obvious. It sounds so banal that I want to answer in something interesting and funny. For example, the question “Why?” Sometimes you don’t even know what to say in response. But, if you memorize a few phrases, then you will always have the correct answer, even with humor, at the ready.
Read an article on our website about how to respond to the word “sorry” from a guy about silence, from a girl, friend, beautifully, so that you remember .
Below you will find possible answers. Read on.
Don't talk about yourself
The most important thing to remember is that the employer has little interest in the desires, feelings and other circumstances of your life. Therefore, if you say that you are suitable for the company because you really need the job, then this will not increase your chances of getting it.
Even if you admit that you find yourself in a difficult life situation, it will not change anything. Do not try to pity the company's employees. Remember that interviewers think about their organization first.
They are interested in what benefit you can bring to the company. There are many excellent answers to this standard question. But there are also unsuccessful examples.
"Why?" or “why?”
Both questions are good in their own way. And they deserve close attention! So.
"Why?"
The question “why” (this happened, I did this, etc.) helps to analyze the situation and draw the necessary conclusions for the future. To move on to the second question.
However, many people don’t make the transition, they remain stuck in the “why.” And they either continually ask this question or answer it. Answers are generated automatically, since the model is already rolled out.
Try to answer the question: “Why are you late?” Easily? Still would. The alarm clock didn't go off... there was a traffic jam... mom called at the wrong time... the phone was dead...
This does not mean that all answers are lies. They may also be true. Not in this case.
The question "why?" leads to degradation.
He leads us in the same circle of the same patterns.
"For what?"
The question “why?” leads to development and self-knowledge.
The same question, asked in a different way, gives us a lot of wonderful discoveries.
“Why are you late?” Weird question. But only at first glance.
“Why did you go on vacation to this particular resort?”
“Because a cheap trip turned up,” is also the correct answer.
“Then, so as not to think, not to stress, not to be tormented by choice,” is a much more interesting answer.
Then I learn about myself that I am lazy and passive in my choices.
What if “Because I’ve never been there”? Also good.
But it’s better: “Because I want to see new places.”
Then I learn about myself that I am inquisitive and strive for new experiences.
“Why did you quit this job?”
“Because the boss is a fool,” is also true.
“Then, in order not to solve problems of mutual understanding,” is better.
“Then, to find a more comfortable relationship for yourself,” is even better.
Then I learn about myself that a comfortable relationship with my manager is a priority for me. More priorities than salary, location of work, etc. And this is neither good nor bad. It's simply true. The truth about you.
Reactive and proactive behavior
The question "why?" and responses to it mark reactive behavior. "From" behavior.
Something happened and I react.
This is fine.
But to get stuck in this means to stop developing.
The question “why?” and responses to it mark proactive behavior. "To" or "for" behavior.
A small child picks up an object. If this object does not make sounds, what does the child do? It makes a knocking noise. With this object on any surface. The child wants to make a sound. The child is proactive. He wants to be the cause of something, the creator of a phenomenon. For him there is only the question “why?”
“Why are you knocking?” - “To be loud!”
Proactive behavior, “why” behavior is more conscious.
In this case, there is a gap between the stimulus and the response. And this is a space of free choice.
In the case of “why” there is no gap. There is no free choice. I am a slave to habits, patterns, circumstances, other people...
For such people, passive constructions and their analogues dominate in their speech: “I have to,” “I am forced,” “I have no choice,” “I was called,” “I was told” ... an endless number of variations.
The question “why?” requires awareness in any situation and with a projection for the future. Sometimes even very distant.
The question “why?” requires goal orientation. Every action must correspond to the goal, otherwise the question “why?” will have no answer and will turn into “why”.
“Why are you doing fitness?” - “To be in excellent physical shape by the age of 50!”
The question “Why are you doing fitness?” somehow even inappropriate...
“Why do you spend all your free time on the couch?”
“Because I’m too lazy to move,” although honest, it’s wrong.
“Then, by the age of 50, turn into a wreck with excess weight and osteochondrosis, in order to have every reason to complain about your health, whine and poison the lives of those around you,” - this is it.
Ask the question “why?” more often.
Be proactive.
Start by imagining the end result.
Personal need
One of the unsuccessful answer options has already been given. If you say that you need a job, and therefore it is you who should be hired, then you will spoil the impression of yourself. You should also not say that you want to move and therefore the employer should choose you.

Such a phrase also does not contain information that could interest interviewers. Of course, if you find a suitable vacancy in another city, then you need to say at the interview about where you are from and that you plan to move to the locality in which the company is located. But this intention should not be your main reason for taking this job. After all, moving is just a temporary goal. When it is achieved and you begin to live in a new place, you may begin to look for a more suitable job.
This means that you only need the company for the first time. This is how the employer will most likely perceive your answer.
Why are fire buckets cone shaped?
There are several reasons for this unusual shape of fire buckets. It is easier to scoop up water from an open reservoir with a cone, it is more convenient to break frozen sand or ice, and the water in such a bucket splashes less. And cone-shaped buckets are absolutely impractical in everyday life. The chance that such a bucket will be stolen from a fire equipment panel is minimal.
By the way, cone-shaped fire buckets exist only in Russia.
New job
To the question: “Why should we hire you?”, some answer something like this: “I don’t like my current (or former) job.” Such a statement also does not speak about anything other than your personal emotions.

Why do old books have a special smell?
There is hardly a clear interpretation of what old books smell like. Most often, people smell notes of smoke, earth and vanilla in this scent. This aroma is released due to the breakdown of cellulose and lignin, which are part of the paper. Also, the smell of a book is greatly influenced by its age.
Financial issue
Those who say at an interview that they want to earn more, but this company has fairly high wages, also make a mistake. In fact, many people quit and look for a new job for this very reason.
Answering this way will not be original. But the interviewers will consider it a risky move to hire you.
After all, a person who was attracted only by a high salary will leave as soon as they promise him more somewhere.

- We don't always get what we want, do we?
- I hate to say this, but I'm not alone.
- I'm single because it happened that way. It's not my choice, but it's still a choice.
- I like being alone. I'm always there when you need me.
- My bed only has enough space for me and my dog.
- I have a loving and committed relationship with my bed.
- I don't know. One day I woke up like this.
- One day I showed up for a date twenty-four hours early.
- Just so you know, I value “my” time more than “ours.”
- There was a time when a cute guy/girl asked me if I had a boyfriend/girlfriend and I said yes because I didn't hear the question.

Common words
When describing your professional qualities, try to avoid abstract concepts like: hard work, stress resistance, punctuality. From these words your interlocutor will not learn anything specific about you.
This means that saying them during recruiting is simply pointless. In addition, almost everyone can call themselves honest, responsible and a professional in their field (if this is not so, then why come for an interview at all).

Your goal is to somehow stand out from the crowd of all candidates for the position. This means you need to prepare a more original answer. But if a person nevertheless decides to talk about his hard work (or other qualities), then he must be ready to back up these words with an incident from his career in which this character trait was manifested.
Daring responses to the phrase “I mean”
In terms of?
The phrase "what do you mean?" can be pronounced in either an incomprehensible or a threatening tone. In the latter case, a person goes into conflict. It's often worth smoothing out the corners. But in some cases, if the interlocutor does not answer adequately, he will assume the position of the victim and make a significant mistake. Here are some cheeky responses that should be spoken in a confident tone to this phrase:
- What, you don’t understand? Repeat?
- In the sense in which you understood. I won't repeat it. Will you figure it out on your own or should I help you?
- For you, moron, and your friends with the intelligence of a snail, I repeat.
- While you're here with me looking for meaning, your girlfriend is cuckolding you. I kind of don’t care, but I think I need to warn you.
- In terms of? - in the sense that you are now going to hell.
- In terms of? Of course, in the literal sense. Your IQ is too low to understand figurative.
Of course, it is important to have an understanding of who to answer and how. Otherwise, with daring answers you can not rise above your opponent, but get yourself into trouble. Good luck!
Prestige
You should also not say something like: “My resume will look much more impressive if your name is on it. I will help the company increase its profits tenfold” - an example of such an unsuccessful answer to the most popular question in interviews. Don't say anything like that, unless, of course, you are ready to present a plan for improving the company's performance, which details how you can increase profits.
Be honest. Talk only about what you can actually do for the organization. Implausible promises will be perceived as lies. And the company hardly needs employees who tell lies already during the interview.
Why are grapes never wormy?
Insect larvae need oxygen to breathe. It usually reaches the worms through a kind of tunnel that they have gnawed inside the fruit. There is so much juice in the grapes that it would flood all the moves made. If the worms tried to eat the grapes, they would simply choke.
Good examples
Now it's time to talk about what you can say when answering one of the most common questions from employers.
Think about what you can offer the company. What sets you apart from other applicants? When thinking about this question, think beyond the expectations that the company makes of its employees.
Almost everyone who came has the necessary list of skills. Tell me what you can do besides this. For example, if you're applying for a position as a graphic designer, mention your ability to work with little-known but useful programs.
Mention that you have heard a lot about the positive work environment that exists in this company. Tell us about your personal qualities that match the corporate culture of the organization.

Why don't fish freeze through and through in winter?
Nature has provided fish with several protective mechanisms against frost. Firstly, large bodies of water do not freeze through even in the most extreme cold, and the water at depth is much warmer than the air. Secondly, the body of fish is designed in such a way that their body temperature adjusts to the temperature of the water, so the fish are not cold. Thirdly, fish blood is a kind of antifreeze . Polar species produce special proteins - glycoproteins, which prevent them from freezing through even at sub-zero temperatures.

Why do flies constantly rub their legs as if they are planning evil?
You can often observe how flies clean not only their legs, but also their wings, moving their legs along their backs - this is how they clean themselves. Of course, special attention is paid to the paws. At the edge of the fly's legs there are 2 claws and small suction cups with hairs that secrete glue. If particles of dust or something else get into the suction cups, the flies' ability to crawl along inclined surfaces and determine the taste of food is reduced.
