Happened to me recently during a call. Perhaps they could have phrased it better, like “why are you open to opportunities” (which sounds quite dumb too tbh)

It doesn’t take many times being on the hiring side of the table or talking with someone who is, to hear the horror stories of why the stupid questions get asked.

Lol… (sorry, it’s funny but also makes sense it can suck being on the other side).

To me the question is flabbergasting - I genuinely have no answer. It’s like asking “why do you want the sun to rise in the morning?”.

Yeah, I get you.

In my case, I just pointed out (politely, I hope) that they were the one who called me, and not the other way round.

And thankfully, they left it at that.
