Anyone actually say during an interview that the reason they want the job was because they need money? (lemm.ee)

Iirc I have said that. But it was because the interview was going well. By that I mean that when I left the two looked at each other, said their sides hurt from laughing, and they said "Let's hire him even though he isn't qualified and just see what happens." Best job I ever had.

Tbf, I interview well. It is far more about being comfortable and competent in the topics you would be doing. It takes reading the room. In the case of the interview above I could tell that humor was my best option and had them in tears multiple times through the interview.
