What motivates you?
"I consider myself a self-motivated individual who is constantly striving to be better and do better. I draw inspiration from leaders in the industry and those around me to keep my motivation high."
"I am motivated by the success of my team. I want to be a great leader, so when my team performs well, it just adds to my motivation."
Typically, employees are motivated by environments where they feel supported and encouraged. The interviewer wants to know how they could drive you - even on the toughest of days! Be open to the interviewer about the ways you can stay motivated on the job, also when the going gets tough.
"It does not take a lot to keep me motivated. If I work in a positive environment with a forward-thinking team, I am a very happy employee. If you see me going above and beyond, quick thanks or little recognition of my hard work is good enough for me."

I am motivated by the chance to learn and grow in the lab. Science is constantly evolving, and there is always something new to explore and discover. As a lab assistant, I am exposed to a wide range of techniques, equipment, and methodologies, which challenges me to expand my knowledge and skills continuously.
