  1. If a graduate fellow application asks you to "express your reasons for wanting" the position, do they REALLY want to know why you want it, or do they actually want you to tell them why you'd be awesome at it, and if the second, then why not just ASK that?

      Why not just answer both questions? I.e. the position in ... is particularly interesting to me because ... and I am also well suited to the job because a,b, and c.

      Done and done. The phrasing of the question just made me chuckle. I put that question on an application for tutors at a community college once and learned my lesson when I got very literal responses about how the applicant was a working mother/tired of living off of his parents/really wanted a job where he could study at work.
