Q: What has made you stick with an interest for years? What motivates you to do your best work?

是什麼動力讓你多年來一直保持興趣？是什麼動機促使你盡力而為？

[研究所申請｜有力簡答]

I enjoy the sense of fulfillment I have after achieving my goals, so I would say that it’s a sense of pride that really motivates me to keep moving forward.

我很喜歡達成目標後所獲得的成就感，所以我會說，這種自豪感正是激勵著我繼續前進的動力。

[研究所申請｜深入詳答]

I would say that I’m more of a self-motivated person and I don’t really need much external motivation. I work not only for paychecks, but more importantly, I always do my best work out of a sense of pride. I truly enjoy the satisfaction of achieving my goals. Whenever I’m assigned important projects, I dedicate my best efforts to complete them. And the praise from my supervisors and the sense of self-satisfaction are the real rewards that I get.

我認為我算是有上進心的人，不需要太多外部動力的鞭策。我工作不僅是為了賺取薪水，更重要的是，我是出於一股自豪感而全力以赴。我真的很喜歡實現目標後的滿足感。每當我被指派做重要的專案時，我都會盡最大努力去完成，來自主管的讚賞和自我滿足感才是我得到的真正回報。

★ Tips 面試一點通！

學校教授最喜歡積極、主動學習的學生，而非等著老師「餵知識」的被動接收者，因此可藉由此題的機會多多向教授展示自己有主動求知的精神。

求職面試也不例外，前陣子流行 “quiet quitting”（安靜離職）一詞，而抱持這種「微躺平」（不積極求進步）心態的員工是雇主們最不想遇見的。因此，求職者面對此題時，可強調自身的主動、精益求精的特質。
