"I am best motivated through words of praise and recognition for a job well done. I do like to know that my efforts are being noticed. In my current position, we have a leader board, which I've found to be helpful because it creates a healthy bit of personal competition in me as well."

Explain 2-3 things that Paycom can do for you that will strengthen your motivation. While pay and benefits are obvious answers, make sure to steer away from these sorts of motivators. Instead, focus on factors that have helped motivate you in the past, like those listed below:

- Positive environments
- Clear and positive communication
- Good managers who lead by example
- Feeling of empowerment and autonomy
- Opportunities for career growth
- Incentives and contests
