This question's aim is to ensure you view this as a long-term employment opportunity and to determine how they can earn your loyalty while you are employed with them. To answer this question, and to ensure you communicate your realistic expectations from the start, as a guideline, imagine your motivators as the carrot, and your employment with them as the stick. It is up to you to inform them what that carrot looks like, and how often it should be reached and replaced. Share with them your well-thought-out career goals for the next five-years, and how frequently you hope to attain each goal. Whether it is an opportunity to grow and develop as a professional, or how you hope to advance and be promoted, whatever your goals, share with them what you are shooting for, how they can help you attain them, and how this equates to motivating you in your career and job satisfaction.

"I am best motivated by rewarding my efforts with new opportunities for advancement and learning. Bring me into the fold, and share with me the behind the scenes of the big picture. Show me what we are shooting for, and I'll keep asking questions until I have a full clear view of the big picture and how to get us there. Motivating me on the job would be to give me on the job by helping me reach my career goals, one by one, in the realistic timeframes I've set out for. May I share with you my five-year career plan? I have a chart here that exemplifies it."
