| Jun 21, 2019 at 16:09 | comment | added | David Schwartz | @AndrewSavinykh That's the point of the answer. To indicate that they have done their researched and the job, as advertised, is a good fit and one they would only leave (at least in the near future) if it was misrepresented. And it points out the importance of honesty on both sides. | |

If you have misrepresented the company or the job - do you think, that it's likely the only possible reason for quitting?

| Jun 19, 2019 at 23:17 | comment | added | user90842 | You mean, way too aggro-aggressive :-) | |
| Jun 19, 2019 at 16:23 | comment | added | economy | Disagree with both above comments.This answer is clear and direct and avoids seeming desperate. Projecting confidence and realistic expectations is important, even when you're only speaking with a recruiter (who clearly doesn't know how to sell you on a job). | |
| Jun 19, 2019 at 14:16 | comment | added | Rick | This just says "psh what a stupid question" but with more words. | |
| Jun 19, 2019 at 13:16 | comment | added | Rich | It's the right idea, but way too passive-aggressive. | |
