11. What motivates you?

Employers ask this question because they want to see your resiliency, and determination in how you’ll handle challenges and setbacks.  

Do Say!

• Meeting deadlines, targets, or goals
• Mentoring and coaching others
• Learning new things.
• Coming up with creative ideas to improve something, or make something new.
• Working well as part of a team.
• Finding a way to solve a problem, or overcome a challenge.

Don’t Say!

• Money is your motivator. The only exception is if you are in sales
• Employee Discounts.

12. What hours can you work?

• The more flexible you are with your hours, the better your chance of getting hired, so be flexible!
• Let the interviewer know if you can work on weekends and holidays.

13. Why did you leave your last job?

• Unfortunately, this could be a trick question where they ask about things you didn’t like in your previous job.
• The best answer is to say that you enjoyed everything about your last job; however, you feel that you have learned all you could in that role and are now looking for new challenges.

14. What are your salary expectations?

• This is a stressful question because if you ask for too much, you will not get the job, and if you ask for too little, they will happily underpay you.
• Be sure to research salary expectations for your role before you go into the interview. There are plenty of sites that discuss salary ranges.
• Ask about the salary range if you don’t know what to say.  You can then counter with the high end of the range.
