It's alright to answer this question from a more personal perspective. The interviewer wants to know what motivates you to wake up every morning to perform your job. Maybe you dream of having your own clinic someday. Perhaps you want to write a book on different techniques of massage therapy. Or it could be the joy of providing comfort to your clients. Whatever it is, tell the interviewer about it!

I am choosing to become a massage therapist because I love helping others, and I strive to be the best at anything I do.

Rachelle's Feedback

Hi there! I recommend digging deeper and using this question as an opportunity to let the interviewer inside a bit. For instance, when you say that you are driven by the need to be the best at everything that you do - what is the core of your desire to apply this to massage therapy? When it comes to helping others, what is the specific impact you believe you make on your clients?
