Typically, employees are motivated by environments where they feel supported and encouraged. The interviewer wants to know how they could motivate you - even on the toughest of days! Be open with the interviewer about the ways you can stay motivated on the job, even 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, a quick thanks or small recognition of my hard work is good enough for me."

It makes me happy when I know I make a difference in ones' life. For example, I offer extra help during my lunches and after school so my students get an opportunity to clarify questions or struggles they may encounter. By doing this, their test scores were higher, and they were more confident in their studies.
