"I'm graduating in May, and I want to put my degree to use right away. Not to mention, I've always been compelled to sell. Since I was a kid, I loved putting on lemonade stands, making bracelets and selling them, and hosting bake sales. Money has always motivated me, and I know that the sales role will be perfect for me - I love to compete and am motivated to win, even as I start at the bottom."

"I have spent the past couple of year traveling and gaining life experience. I am now ready to enter the workforce part-time, while I work towards my degree. The hours that your company offers will be the best situation for me since I can attend classes during the day and come to work in the late afternoons, early evenings and weekends."

The interviewer would like to know what is motivating you to enter the workforce for the first time. You may want a new car or a better wardrobe. Perhaps you have student loans that you need to pay off, but the interviewer wants to hear about motivation that goes beyond surface monetary reasons. Monetary reasons are not going to keep you engaged in the long-term.

The interviewer wants to know that you have excitement for this job itself. You may be looking for an experience that will help you get an internship or into a highly competitive school. Explain your motivation and how this job will help you get where you want to go!
