WRITTEN BY RACHELLE ENNS

QUESTION 5 OF 25

As a budget analyst, how do you like to be recognized for your accomplishments?

"I am very simple. I do not require any formal recognition, but kind words from my coworkers and superiors will keep me motivated and working hard."

"I love accolades given, in sincerity, by those whom I respect. I like the shout-out in the company meeting or a pat on the back for a great discovery such as a major budgetary discrepancy."

We all like to be recognized in some way for our accomplishments in the workplace. Share with the interviewer how you would want to be known for your hard work. Through gifts? Financial perks? Public recognition? Kind words? Title promotions?

"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 for me is to know that my hard work is being noticed."
