      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      We all like to be recognized in some way for our accomplishments in the workplace. Share with the interviewer how you want to be known for your hard work. Some leaders may prefer more public recognition, such as being acknowledged in a school-wide email or newsletter. Others may appreciate a more personal approach, like a handwritten note, a promotion, or a one-on-one meeting to discuss their achievements. Ultimately, it depends on your personality and preferences when answering how you like to be recognized for your accomplishments.

      Answer Example

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

      Experienced Example

      "I am a highly competitive person who is compensation driven. I like to be recognized for my accomplishments through monetary bonuses where the stakes are high. But don't get me wrong. I am compensation driven when my superiors come up with the idea, but I always strive to be my best even when compensation is not involved."

      Anonymous Answer

      "I do not need recognition and prefer to give recognition to others, especially rookie teachers. It makes me happier to see others receive recognition."

      Rachelle's Feedback

      It's very nice that you prefer to recognize others; however, the interviewer will want some idea on how they can continue to encourage you on the job as well. Everyone needs some encouragement from time to time. I have added a sample, below.
      "I prefer to give recognition to others, especially rookie teachers. It makes me happier to see others receive recognition. If I were to receive any credit, I would appreciate a quiet word of kindness and the autonomy to more freely award teachers who are going over and above."
