Interview Help – Interview Question about Motivation
Employee motivation is a critical ingredient for job performance and job success. Organisation use many tools and techniques to increase employee motivation through initiative like training, development, rewards, benefits and much more. Organisations focus on this area when hiring staff too so you can be sure that an interview question around motivation will arise at interview. I have highlighted a popular interview question about motivation below.
Describe when are you most motivated in your current job?
With this question the interviewer wants to know what motivates you or what makes you tick in a working environment. Ideally you will relate an example of a task or project when you were at your most enthusiastic or excited. This will provide the interviewer with information about your preferences. An example of this would be – “I was most satisfied in my previous job when I worked with large customers resolving financial problems; this area of my job offered great fulfillment.” Remember to focus on what the interview is seeking for in a new recruit and what will be the key roles and responsibilities in the job. For example if working with numbers and data is a big part of the job this might be a good area to focus. I do stress to candidates that you can lie and tell fibs BUT remember that they may work and you could land a job that you hate or are not suited to.
