# Mostly A (2&3), but a little B
It's the 'tell us why you want the job' qustion that's worrying me most tbh

# Why do you want the job?
Because Im bored shitless being unemployed, and fancy doing something that will challenge me and something that I'll enjoy, and I hope I can contribute the the growth/whatever of the company...blah blah blah..etc...

# Precisely
Because I'm skint and need some moolah to be able to afford silly things like 'food' and 'water'. I know I'll be better at the job than anyone else you'll interview and if you don't give me the job I'll send those pictures to your wife.

# Be honest, but also try to say what they wanna hear
They'll have company buzz words and shit, look on the comps website and they'll have goals and shit that the company will lead towards like "ambition, drive, innovation" etc...
if the interviewer seems like the jolly sort, crack a joke or something to make you feel more relaxed and shit.

# It's the whole 'company' bit that's the problem
It's public sector, so they don't really have the whole 'jargonistic' thing going

# Last interview I went to,
I said things about the hospital looking nice (it was a new PFI one so that probably doesn't apply in all cases), the job spec sounding appealing, new challenges, stuff like that.
I also made a fairly big deal about wanting to do the research they were offering, but that might not apply.
