QUESTION 33 OF 35

Who is your role model or inspiration?

"I'd say Al Pacino's character in the movie, Glengarry Glenn Ross. He had it going on - a professional with swagger who could sell a light post to a bulb. His confidence and experience inspired me; he could walk in a room and be the best, and know he's the best, yet show zero hesitation to help his fellow man."

By gaining insights into who inspires you in your career and drives your ideal of success, the interviewer will better understand your motivators and how you'll fit in with their company. It can be anyone, fictional or true to life. Go deeper than sharing who they are, but also why and how they prompted you to aspire for those loftier goals or ideals which you wouldn't have striven for otherwise. Try to align your inspiration with what they are looking for in their ideal candidate.
