Your answer will reveal what motivated you to pursue this position. Are you motivated to pursue this opportunity because you are career driven and excited by what this opportunity offers, or are you more so enticed by their pay and benefits? Although there is nothing wrong with being financially motivated to pursue an opportunity, you shouldn't advertise this as your primary motivator. Rather, give them insights into what motivates and inspires you on a personal level, as well as your daily motivators for any given workday. Detail how you approach your work, regardless of whether the task is high-pressure or monotonous and how you stay productive without burning out.

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

"I do not like public recognition all that much as I prefer to do my job well, regardless of being recognized. When I have a major achievement, I would prefer a phone call from my supervisor saying a good job. Also, I like to be awarded additional responsibilities."
