By understanding why you find this career path rewarding, the interviewer will also be able to know how to keep you motivated on the job. Give a few examples of what you find most rewarding. Try to give unique answers vs. merely saying, 'I like talking to people,' for instance. You could describe how it's incredibly rewarding to help guide students through the college application process and see them achieve their dreams of higher education. Or, being able to witness the excitement and joy on a student's face when they receive their acceptance letter. Additionally, you could explain how building relationships with students and their families and supporting them during a stressful time is incredibly fulfilling.
