You are not talking about for competitive schools, right?

Do you think people who answer questions at job interviews are "doing the company's work for them"?

Pretty dumb comment, IMHO.[/quote]

THAT'S DUMB.

If you're an adult applying for a *specific* job at a *specific* company, you have *specific* reasons for wanting that job (money, prestige, it's your dream job, a good stepping stone, etc.). You probably aren't going to be entirely truthful as to why you want the job. ("I just want the big bucks. Hire me!" "My wife got a job in this city so now I have to, too." "My cousin knows the CEO and I thought it would be easier to get a job") You're going to say what you think they want to hear.

Ok, you aren’t getting it. It’s not a sense of entitlement. It’s that the question at its core simply begs a made up response. If they want to see how the children write fiction, they’d be better off with a question like, “Imagine yourself at College Whichever.
Tell a story of what a typical day might look like.”
