When a job application asks me why I want to work for [insert name of institution], what do they want me to say?

but I'm guessing they're looking for something a bit more 'I hear this is one of the best colleges in the area and it's my absolute wet dream to be on the payroll'

I swear if I'm ever in a position to do so I'll hire anyone who says this.

I don't like application forms. I'm freaking out.

Write it out a few times, and then write the final application properly. The advantage with non-electrical documentation, is that only those who want/need to complete it will.
If you've got the motivation to complete it, you'll have as much chance as anyone else.

Well, offline, in Word, then applying by email. I'm down to the last bit, which is where I feel I fall down. I never know what they're looking for me to say, and always end up putting something shit.

as ours is being a bit of a cunt.
The job is a marketing copywriter for a college - basically doing all the prospectuses, adverts, p[ress releases etc.
I've already done the 'what skills do you have that make us want to spunk on your tits?' question. Now I have 'Why do you want to work for Scumbag College?' and I don't know whether to say 'because you're ACES' or 'because you totally need me to'

'I appreciate the work already undertaken by the college and feel I can add value to the organisation, [Adds examples] additionally, the value of education means [adds more bollocks] and in closing, I've got massive tits, so unless you've got a huge amount of spunk, you'll struggle covering them.'
