How can we motivate you on the job?
Every employer aims to understand how to motivate their staff and maintain productivity and high morale. They want to know what a partnership with you would look like and what might motivate you in this environment while ensuring you won't burn out in this position. Share with them how you approach your work, regardless of whether the task is high-pressure or monotonous. Offer them some insights into what motivates you and inspires you. Explain how your attitude informs your professionalism and how you stay productive throughout your workday.
"I am best motivated through words of praise and recognition for a job well done. I like to know that my efforts are noticed. In my current position, we have a leaderboard, and I like that concept because it creates healthy competition."
"It's important that I feel capable and trusted in the workplace. If you see me doing a great job, let me know. Also, you could offer me additional and more senior responsibilities."
