Question 2 of 35

How can we motivate you on the job?

"I believe that, for the most part, I am intrinsically motivated. However, I am often encouraged by verbal recognition of my impact and compensation-based rewards. This could be a competition for a gift card or a contest where I can earn a bigger holiday party budget for my team. I am also motivated by my competitive side, so I love being challenged by high performers around me."

      "To stay motivated and productive at work, I prioritize my tasks and break them down into manageable steps. I take short breaks and move around throughout the day, and have regular check-ins with my supervisor or team. I approach high-pressure situations or monotonous tasks with a positive attitude and focus on finding solutions."

      Jaymie's Feedback

      This is a great start! The interviewer also wants to know how they, as a hiring manager or how they as a company can motivate you. Think about if you're motivated by words of encouragement, public recognition, competition, monetary incentives, growth and development opportunities, etc. as well.
