The interviewer wants to learn more about what drives you and keeps you engaged and motivated in the workplace. Speak about what excites you and motivates you to do the job every day. Be sure you answer honestly, and ensure your answer is relevant to the position you're applying for. Avoid giving examples that don't align with the position. For example, if working in the office with employees around you is what motivates you, but this position is remote, avoid using that example.

"My chosen career was helping people at exactly the point they were least capable of censoring themselves or giving back. So, I stopped needing thanks from my patients. It's not like I don't need positive reinforcement. Everyone does. But I made a point to find it in other places instead of expecting it from my patients. Nowadays, I make an effort to expressly thank the people I work with when they do a good job. I focus on being grateful to be allowed to see private, raw, emotional parts of people's lives."

"I am an easily motivated individual, and it does not take much to keep me engaged. I am fully aware that healthcare-related positions can seem thankless. Honestly, the best thanks that I can get is a pat on the back now and then. The majority of my motivation comes from simply helping people."
