"Not only is one on one counseling important to me, but being able to also present my findings and suggestions directly to my colleagues excites me. I'm always very motivated by being able to see the impact of my work on other people and how I can share my knowledge with others."

Don't get hung up on this answer. Of course, you'd love for your new position to pay extremely well, have an effortless commute, and ensure access to nap rooms during all work hours, but that's not going to impress your interviewer. Answer this question by highlighting your skills and talk about how you're looking for a place where you can use them.
