What motivates you? (What is a good answer to this - I was asked it in a job interview situation.)?

You need to say something like " What motivates me is doing well, working with people and excelling in job performance". This is just one of those types of questions where they want you to tell on yourself. It's a trick question, they know your there for the money, you just need to not let them know that. Remember to turn something you already know how to do into an answer, like being good with computers, working with people, being good with numbers, or something along those lines.

They love to hear BS, so something like "I feel that I could really bring a lot of good experience to this role", or "my experience up to this point makes this a great forward looking progression for me". Its nonsense, but if you want to be in with a chance, you have to spout the sh*t they want to hear, even if its not true.
