O'Connor Marketing: What Motivates You?

    SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, May 27, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sydney-based O'Connor Marketing urges interviewees to be prepared for one of the most common interview questions. The question, "What motivates you?" more often than not crops up, and with good reason. Interviewers are able to gain deep insight into personality, values, skills and ambitions by asking this question. As firms are more commonly looking to maintain a workforce that promotes a common brand message and culture, the ability to communicate key motivators could be the crucial factor that secures a job offer.

O'Connor Marketing shares their advice on how to master answering questions on personal motivation:

Self-reflect - No one knows an individual quite like themselves. The first step is to identify what is the key factor in getting up and starting the day. It is a good idea to consider past projects that have offered satisfaction and enjoyment; it's also important to find the 'why' at this stage. The interviewer will be looking to assess self-awareness at this stage, so a clear and concise answer will best promote this skill.

Avoid generalised responses - At this stage avoid cliche answers, and instead use the opportunity relate personal motivational drivers to the job. This will develop a visual for the interviewer to complete their opinion on a person's ability to deliver in the role.

Have concise message points - Keep answers relative to the job at hand. Take the opportunity to illustrate focus and organise thoughts whilst offering succinct support statements.

Be true to yourself - By offering honest reflections on personal motivators it allows employers to offer personal development opportunities through work based activities. If answers are tailored to attaining a role during the interview stage but offer a false reflection on a personal level, it is highly likely job satisfaction will be low. Be sincere in the content of this answer as it will offer an insight into the qualities a specific person can bring to the table.
