We all like recognition in some way for our accomplishments in the workplace. Your Lockheed Martin interviewer wants to make sure they can offer recognition in a way that will help to keep you motivated and satisfied.

Karrie Day

"I am very much an over-achiever and find that the best way for me to be recognized for a job well done is through words of kindness and recognition. I am easily encouraged, and the best reward for me is to know that my hard work makes a difference."

Karrie Day

"I feel that most achievements are due to the great work of a team. If I gain recognition for my accomplishments, I always prefer that my team be a part of that recognition as well. Words of encouragement are always motivating."

Karrie Day

Share with the interviewer how you would want credit for your hard work. In addition to promotions, raises, and bonuses, consider less tangible recognition such as awards, kind words, or the opportunity to work on special projects that align with your long-term career goals.

Karrie Day

"While I enjoy recognition and words of appreciation, I am more motivated by being given opportunities to grow professionally. I love to work with new technologies, learn new skills, and work on anything innovative and exciting. I know that not all projects have these characteristics, so if there is an opportunity to show recognition in alignment with my goals, I genuinely appreciate it."

I do not require any recognition for doing my job. If anything, I'd like to be told if I'm failing to meet expectations for my role or the tasks I'm assigned. Otherwise, assume I'm on the right track and performing as expected.

Marcie's Feedback

Wow! You're definitely low maintenance. :) Are you sure you don't like verbal or written praise when you've done something well? What about a bonus or other financial reward? Be honest here so the interviewer understands what makes you tick.
