Recently, ResumeDoctor.com surveyed over 2,000 recruiters and hiring managers worldwide in order to find out what questions are most frequently asked during job interviews. Participants came from a variety of industries, including information technology, marketing and sales, finance, and healthcare.

Motivation is a good indicator of one's personality. Tim Miller of HR Dimensions in Indianapolis, Indiana discussed the significance of this concept, "This question can often really show a candidate's true colors. Naturally a good candidate will offer something like, 'challenge, teamwork, a leadership role, and accountability.' Some pitfalls that candidates can get into are responses such as money, and any other type of response that might show a bit of selfishness, or any response demonstrating they would be content by doing the same thing forever. I'm looking for self-motivated people wanting further challenges."

Recruiter Tip: Strategies to motivating others are not just limited to those in management positions. Make sure you demonstrate the desire to motivate your peers and team members as well.
