🧑‍💼 “Why Did You Apply to Our Company?”

– “Because You Were the First to Call Back.”

Denver, Colorado. 2023.

At 10:06 AM,
Jared M., 28,
walked into a sleek glass office for an interview at “Altura Logistics.”

He wore a suit he borrowed from his cousin.
His resume had three typos.
And he was running on 3 hours of sleep and one sad gas station burrito.

Still, he smiled.

Until the hiring manager asked that question:

“So, Jared… why did you apply to our company?”

💬 The Legendary Answer

Without even blinking, Jared said:

“Honestly?
You were the first ones who called me back.
Also, your office is close to my apartment and there’s a Taco Bell next door.”

Silence.
Four interviewers staring at him.

One of them sipped her coffee and choked mid-gulp.

Then…
they all burst out laughing.

🤯 What He Thought

Jared texted his friend right after:

“Just bombed an interview so hard they might frame it.”

He was halfway through applying for a forklift job
when he got the email:

“We’d like to offer you the position.”

🧾 The Explanation

Later, his new manager told him:

“We interviewed 19 people.
18 gave canned, buzzword answers.
You gave the truth — and a burrito joke.
That’s the kind of energy we need around here.”

🔁 How It Came Back Around

Six months later, Jared was asked to help interview a new candidate.

He leaned forward and said:

“So… why do you want to work here?”

The candidate replied:

“Because my mom said I have to move out.”

Jared stood up and said:

“You’re hired.”

😂 Moral of the Story?

Sometimes, honesty really is the best policy.
Especially when it comes with a side of tacos.
