Lauren's Feedback
Great answer. Can you think of ways your previous supervisors have noticed or recognized your accomplishments? It would be helpful to note, so the interviewer could get a feel for your workstyle.
(Example) I appreciated when previous supervisors have recognized my performance during quarterly reviews. I strive to exceed expectations, and love to take on new responsibilities. I like receiving verbal feedback from peers and supervisors.

It is nice when we get emails from management recognizing a job well done. It is rewarding for me to know my work is being noticed.
Marcie's Feedback
Great. This sounds like a very reasonable request when it comes to being recognized. The interviewer will appreciate that it doesn't take much to motivate you. You could also reiterate here that you are in a large part internally motivated by a desire to help others.

I like to be recognized for a job well done. A personal email from my supervisor or a client or a shout-out on a huddle call is always appreciated!
Marcie's Feedback
Nice! The interviewer will appreciate you sharing this information with them. So you prefer either written or verbal recognition? How about perks like extra PTO or financial compensation? Be sure to mention all the ways you like to be recognized. Then end your answer by letting the interviewer know that, while you always work hard because of your strong work ethic, you appreciate recognition/praise and they motivate you to work even harder. Good job!
