Kevin Downey has an extensive background in business management, recruiting, branding and marketing. He's volunteered his career coaching services at job fairs, lecturing on interview techniques and crafting winning resumes and cover letters.

The interviewer asks this question to understand what motivates you, what distracts you, and what kind of work environment suits you best. They are also curious about what your general attitude towards life is. Someone who has a lot of negative things to say about their last position might feel that way about their workplace, no matter where they are.
