I am going for an interview with a humanitarian/development charity next week. They are almost definitely going to ask why I want to work for this charity. The honest answer is that when you become a parent, the humanitarian disasters in the world take on a new meaning, as you are hyper-aware that there are children as young as your own in truly awful situations. I think everyone feels this way? I know that many of my friends with kids say they can't bear to watch the news some nights. I could give them the usual spiel about how impressive their track record is and how well known their activities etc, but the truthful answer is the one I've set out above. Would it be weird/unprofessional/excessively emotional to say that? Would they think I was a bit bonkers or that it was an inappropriate response?
