I’m not good at bs’ing, no really 
I always seem to get stuck on questions like “Why do you want to work for us” or, “Why do you think you’d be a good addition to our team”. So any help with these questions would be much appreciated as I’m currently filling out an application.
Tell them straight…It`s not just your team, it is every team, so you best get in quick and employ me. 
Just don’t write “because I’m a legend”. It only works in certain situations.
-
Give them some BS about how impressed you are by their local reputation and professionalism.
-
Tell them you are ideally suited because you are equally capable of working as part of a team or on your own.

I want to work for you, because you have a job available and i have rent to pay. I will be a good addition to the team, because I get the work done without fuss or whining. Basically, just give us a job
A job with a reputable company, Seeking long term stability / job security, in return you can offer reliability & commitment, blah blah…

Who the hell comes up with question like this, we aint going out on team building exercises making rafts and swapping bodily fluids, we drive soddin trucks.
This has got to be one of the bigger logistics names, all bullshine and hundreds of bloody admins and petty managers all desperate to make their jobs indespensible by dreaming up ever more bullshine.

I told the Stobart Ops manager today all the other interviews i’d had were for a job, this interview was for a career, cringeworthy perhaps but he liked it. !
Do want a driver or don’t you.If you do then just get on with it and stop asking these bs questions.If not then why keep wasting my time and yours.

Oh… You’re so big and tough Carryfast. If I was a girl I’d be frothing at the opening and shoving your hard tool into my wet cavity.
When I’d finished cleaning my boots with your toothbrush, I’d stick it up my ring and put it back on the shelf beside its owner.

If that’s what makes the difference between me getting the job and you not getting it so i can feed and pay a mortgage for my family then yes, every time.
Anyone admitting they are a unreformed and unrepentant credit user might find themselves being shown the same attitude by the firm as an unrepentant drug user. 
“I need a job to pay for extortionate interest rates on my borrowings”
“I need a job so I can get a 0% finance deal on a new 4x4”
“I need a job to pay off the ex-wife”
“I need a job to pay off my credit cards run up by my ex wife”
…

“Less accidents if you employ me!”
“This is a great opportunity for the firm to snap up someone overqualified at standard rates!”

From experience. Don’t reply when asked…WTF has it got to do with you?
Most questions like this are asked by people who wear a shirt and tie, are trying to justify there job and are full of there own self importance, oh and would have a heart attack if you put a set of truck keys in there hands.
They all want to here the same thing, top company to work for, can use my own initiative etc.
As someone who has performed many interviews its not neccasarily the content of the answer but how its answered etc, etc. Try this guide,
job-interview.net/interviewer.htm
The answer to the type of questions you are posting are to see if you can think on your feet and how you deal with stress and how calm you stay in such situations.
Hope this helps
