QUESTION 25 OF 25

How do you motivate yourself when operating independently?

This position requires operating independently to meet your targets and largely drafting your own schedule, so your interviewers want to ensure that you are self-motivated and capable of operating independently at a consistently high level. Consider ways in which you motivate yourself at work and how you might apply those tricks to this position.

"First, I remind myself daily of what draws me to my work and keeps me engaged. I maintain a detailed schedule in my planner, so I might leave a note there or ground myself in the car at the start of the day. When I focus on those fundamentals, I'm able to keep myself in a more productive and helpful mindset. Of course, I also like to incorporate additional little ways to stay motivated, like car karaoke on my way from the field to the lab!"
