why I'd be overjoyed to work at Blouse Barn

I've always enjoyed fashion, and I like being able to work with people to find what they like.

a thesis on why being the night receptionist for The Very Big Corporation of America would profoundly fulfill them

Assuming hotel for "night". People tend to be more honest and interesting at night, sometimes for the worse, but sometimes for the better. I don't mind being personable in that way, and I appreciate quiet time to keep things organized. It can be a lot like solving a jigsaw puzzle, except you're actually getting something done.

It's not that hard. It doesn't have to be your goal in life. They understand you're there primarily for money. But it certainly helps if there are things you like doing at least a little. Prompted or not, someone who talks about those reasons is going to do better in the interview than someone who doesn't. It's easier to tell them if they explicitly ask you. And if you can't find a reason, I guess you better hope there aren't too many applicants for that shitty job.
