Cause you feel it's a stable and reliable company? Because the working conditions are exactly what you hoped for? Because you could imagine a LONG LASTING relationship with them? Love at first sight... etc. :)

"I have spoken to many people who work at Verizon and the position would enable me to use my knowledge and skills that I have obtained from College/Working and also allow me to gain new skills to continue my growth. I also believe at verizon people who work hard are recognized for their hard work and effort. I am a hard worker and want to be recognized for my dedication to my job"

tell them like it is - that you want more money and your current employer is not willing to pay any more.

I want to work for xxx ecause I enjoy working with blah and this company is an industry leader. From what I've read about them it seems like a great place for me to be in and a great place to grow my career. What I've learned about the company and the people here during the interviews makes me think that I would fit in and work well with the team.

Q: Why do u want to work for xxx?
A: Because I simply feel that "XX" doesn't show enough DVDA, which is what today's pr0n connoisseur is really after.

Tell them that there is a cute girl there that normall wouldn't give you the time of day, but if you worked there then she will be forced to interact with you.

i think they interview went well, when they say "we will call you back" does that mean theres a chance they will or should i move on? my last job i got because of a friend so i knew i was getting hired and the only job i ever got on my own i was offered a job after the interview.

Sounds good but may be their standard reply too. Give it a day or two and call them back. Regardless, send them (snail mail) a thank you note for "taking time out of your busy day to talk with me".

DVDA? I'm afraid to look that one up at work :)
