How to approach it

Be honest and specific, then link your motivation to the role. The best answers show what energises you and give a quick example of it in action at work.

Example answer

"I'm most motivated when I can see the direct impact of my work on real people. At my last job I built an internal tool that cut our support team's ticket handling time in half, and hearing how much calmer their days became was more satisfying than any launch. That's a big reason I'm excited about this role your product is used daily by small business owners, so the impact is very visible."
