An interviewer will ask you what motivates you in your career to determine whether you approach this role as a job or as a profession. A job is something you use to make money and support a lifestyle. A profession is something you are passionate about and seek to advance within. Anybody can perform a job if they have the necessary skills and experience. However, only highly motivated individuals are willing to put in the extra effort and take the steps needed to advance within their profession. These same actions benefit the organizations they work for. This is why the interviewer will ask this question.

"I am motivated as an application integration engineer by the satisfaction I get from solving difficult challenges, completing projects on time, and witnessing the results of my efforts have on the organization. I've always felt the need to contribute, whether part of a youth sports team, a member of the cast of a school play or a volunteer in a philanthropic organization. This same need to contribute motivates me to work hard in my profession and exceed the expectations of my organization. While I appreciate being recognized by management for my achievements, my greatest satisfaction comes from knowing that I've done my very best and achieved what I set out to do."
