Sample job interview question number two
What things motivate you?
Here is where you can show the interviewers your full potential, tell
them what makes you get up in the morning, what fills you with
excitement, passion and lights your eyes up when you speak.
Sample response:
My kids motivate me to get up every morning; they look up to me
as a role model.
Or something along the lines of a hobby, like gardening or fishing.
Also tell them what will motivate you in the job you are applying
for, do you strive for customer satisfaction? Do you love achieving
targets and deadlines tell them everything you love about the
position you are applying for but make it simple and professional
don't try and tell them you want the position because of the
benefits e.g. discounts on items and so forth.
Sample response:
I love the challenge of working in this industry, I love striving to
achieve goals and I love the variety of duties involved and the
confidence and feeling of achievement when I have completed a
job.
But remember if you show more enthusiasm in the job interview for
something such as a hobby rather than the position you are
applying for it could seem that you are uninterested so be careful
how you word your answers to the above question.
