why am i suitable for a job
I am applying for a job and on the application it asked:
Why are you suitable for this position?
and:
Why are you applying for this position?
and I don't know what to answer!
First one is ok because it is an entry level job and I can say something like "Because I am a fast learner" but please tell me something better sounding than that?
The second one, I just don't know. I need the money, but it sounds bad to say that, right?
Thank you!

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
when asked why you want a job, always answer something about wanting the experience. Say you want to grow/learn and build on your skills etc. Never say you need the money, because obviously everyone needs money.
And as for suitable, fast learner is good, but consider what the job is. If it is a waitress, say you are good at multi tasking. If it is some kind of sales person, say you are a people person. Target your answer to the specific job you are applying to rather than generic "fast learned" responses.

Well, you've got to sugar-coat it. Of course you need the money,that's why anyone works. You have to spin it. Like - I want the opportunity to build a career in the ??? field and to succeed and advance in the field of ???
Yes you can say you are suitable because you are a fast learner. Don't lie about yourself, but STESS the truth. If you work well with others, say that, but if not, say something like "I am motivated and work well by myself" I've got a million of these things. I've filled out so many applications in my life its not even funny. If you need more help just add your questions on here, or you can even drop some specifics in my inbox if you want. Good luck!
