A candidate whose ideal working conditions and environment match what RSM has to offer or whose career goals align with RSM career opportunities is more likely to stay with them for a long time, lending to employee retention. However, a candidate who is only interested in RSM's benefits and salary will likely lack loyalty and be more likely to contribute to turnover as soon as a better offer comes along. This question aims to determine what motivates you to perform at your best and what you perceive working for RSM stands to offer you.

Cappfinity suggests that "studies have shown that when we use our strengths, we are happier and experience more vitality and positive emotions. We are less stressed, better at achieving our goals, perform better, and are more engaged at work." Cappfinity will likely watch your posture to gauge your enthusiasm. Slouching, folding your arms, or protecting your neck will portray the opposite of enthusiasm and motivation. Similarly, your professional appearance, such as how clean your clothing and surroundings are, will convey how seriously you take this opportunity. Cappfinity will also likely monitor your facial expressions and eye, head, and hand movements throughout the interview. It may also scan tone for your vocal cues, such as placing stress or emphasis on certain words, stutters, or taking long pauses.

"I am most often motivated by helping the team achieve our mutual goals, by the camaraderie that comes with that, and being recognized for my contributions to the team, which I always put 200% into. I hope to advance my career and am motivated by the opportunities to advance. I am often motivated when achieving those goals is placed within reach."
