How do you stay motivated in your work?

This question helps interviewers find out more about you as a person. Your answer can give them insight into several things, including what makes you tick, what you enjoy doing and what you value, and how you would fit into their marketing team.

A strong answer to this interview question should be succinct and include details. Whatever you say about your motivation, you need to back it up with examples from your studies, work experience, or extracurricular activities; and it should relate to the skills and aptitudes required for the job you're interviewing for.

"I am motivated by working with other creative and innovative people. During my college experience, my best ideas came when working on group projects. I enjoy brainstorming sessions and found that my best ideas came when I could bounce off other team members. It was rewarding helping to spur the team on to succeed. I also enjoy relationship-building and being part of a group and thrive in this environment."
