Interview Question and Answer-”What Motivates You?”

What Motivates You?

This is a fairly common interview question, especially if you are in a sales role.  The wrong answer is, Money.  It may be the truth, but it is the wrong answer.

Try this:


Fortunately, I am highly self-motivated and do not require a great deal of external motivation to be succesful. I have an extremely strong work ethic, and I am not really capable of doing anything less than 110 percent. I enjoy the satisfaction of completing a  project that goes above and beyond expectations. Sure, I like to be praised for my work as much as the next person does, but the real reward comes in seeing an outstanding finished project.  I am very results oriented.
