What work situations excite and motivate you?
It is essential, for your success, that the hiring manager knows how to keep you motivated and excited to come to work every day. Share what motivates your work, whether it is looking forward to spending time with your work friends and teams, the lifestyle, culture, work environment, or the growth opportunities this position presents with the goal being entrusted with more responsibilities and advancing your career. Suggest to your interviewer what they could do to ensure that you are happy and maintain job satisfaction.
"I am most motivated on the job when I feel like an active contributor and an important member of the team, even when the team constantly changes. I look forward to camaraderie and having fun on the job. To making everyone vibe and have a good time together. Organizing tasks, managing your time, and doing a great and thorough job and having fun and letting everyone know it are never mutually exclusive. It just takes strong teamwork and friendly leadership."
"Becoming the most loved travel company comes with great responsibility. We must support all of our people to embrace a growth mindset. To think like a start-up and act like an owner of Virgin Atlantic and to live our values every day. Our ways of working are designed to reflect the balance of happiness, productivity, collaboration and team spirit that make us uniquely Virgin. We have built our approach on core principles, recognising work as an activity, not a place. The focus is less on when and where people work, collaborate or learn, but on their performance and outcomes. This is built on a foundation of trust and celebrates the diversity of our people, embracing that we all have different work life considerations and varying times when our energy is highest."

In my work, I like to make people laugh and be a solid shoulder of support but my real attraction is an ever-changing environment. New people new places and some reliable old ones. That excites me. I love to provide support to others whether passengers or colleagues.
