Question 1 of 25

What motivates you to work hard?

Talk about how you are motivated on the job, and what keeps you focused on the task at hand. It helps to prepare your answer before an interview, so you have time to identify what a specific employer might want to know, come up with an honest answer, and bring focus to your talking points. A candidate who can quickly provide a well-crafted, natural explanation of what keeps them motivated on the job is someone who is likely also a self-starter and knows how to stay on track.
