What motivates you ??

Possible Answer #1
“My biggest motivation is family. They are my biggest source of inspiration and my strongest
supporters as well. When I see my parents working, it gives me the drive to be like them. Their
dedication to working is what motivates me to be like them. They are self-motivated
individuals. Hence I try to imply their positivism into my life. My mother is the source of calm
confidence. Knowing exactly where to push hard and where to slow down is something I have
imbibed from her.

How you Handle Pressure


Pressure is very important to me. Good pressure—such as having many assignments or an
upcoming deadline—helps me to stay motivated and productive. Of course, there are times
when too much pressure can lead to stress. However, I'm very skilled at balancing multiple
projects and meeting deadlines; this ability prevents me from feeling overly stressed. For
example, I once had three assignment projects due in the same week, and that was a lot of
pressure. However, because I created a schedule that detailed how I would break down each
project into small assignments, I managed to complete all three projects ahead of time and
avoided unnecessary stress.

How Do you manage your time


“Time management is important because it impacts my productivity and ability to complete my
tasks at work. Without good time management skills, it would be impossible to meet deadlines
and complete each project to the best of my abilities. In my previous role, I wanted to improve
how I managed my time spent at work to maximize my productivity, so I started using a daily
to-do list that allowed me to better prioritize my tasks and avoid missing any deadlines.”
Goals for the future
My short-term goal is to join a reputed company, like yours, where my job role would allow me
to apply my knowledge and key strengths.
My long-term goals involve growing with a company where I can continue to learn, take on
additional responsibilities, and contribute as much value as possible to the team. I love that

What make me different from the other


What sets me apart from everyone is probably my ability to manage my time efficiently. I am a
very punctual person. Punctuality is very crucial for me as it related to ourself discipline. If you
cannot manage your time wisely, your discipline will failed. Since i was a child, I have been
thought about time management. So I keep apply to be a punctual person until now which is if
there are any event or class, I will be at that place 30 minutes or 15 minutes before it began. I
will feel very anxious if I cannot be on the right time. So, since it become a routine for me, I am
very sure that it would be the same when I was in working world

My strength
i. probably my ability to manage my time efficiently. I am a very punctual person.
Punctuality is very crucial for me as it related to ourself discipline. If you cannot manage
your time wisely, your discipline will failed. Since i was a child, I have been thought
about time management. So I keep practice it until now which is if there are any event
or class, I will be at that place 30 minutes or 15 minutes before it began. I will feel very
anxious if I cannot be on the right time.
ii. I love to help people, for me Helping others and empowering people can motivates me
the most. It doesn’t matter whether it is a colleague, friend or relative. There are times
when the people around your need that extra drive to get going. I relish the opportunity
to reach out to such people. It gives me a sense of confidence and belief that I can be of
some help. The idea that I might provide a solution to someone’s problem is what
motivates me to do a good job. To understand and empathize with people is crucial. You
do not want to make them feel inferior or incapable of solving their own problems. I
simply try to show them an alternate and less resistance path as a solution to their
difficulty. This not only makes them feel better but also allows them to introspect and to
think logically. I try to be positive myself. This allows me to instill the same optimism
onto others when they need it the most. Lending a helping hand is about making the
person feel upbeat, energetic and positive
My weaknesses
My greatest weaknesses is I sometimes lack of confidence. In past, I have some times
struggled with confidence. I’m naturally shy. From high school and into my early
professional interactions, it prevented me from speaking up. I tend to be overly critical
of myself. Whenever I complete a project, I can’t help but feel that I could have done
more even if my work received a positive response. This often leads me to overwork
myself and leaves me feeling burned out. Over the past few years, I’ve tried to take time
to look at my achievements objectively and celebrate those wins. This has not only
improved my work and my confidence, but it has helped me to appreciate my team and
other support systems that are always behind me in everything I do.

My greatest weakness is that I sometimes focus too much on the details of a project and
spend too much time analyzing the finer points. I have been striving to improve in this
area by checking in with myself at regular intervals and giving myself a chance to
refocusing on the bigger picture. That way I can still ensure quality without getting so
caught up in the details that it affects my productivity or the team’s ability to meet the
deadline

My greatest accomplishment
My greatest accomplishment was completing my Bachelor’s degree in 4 years with a
good GPA. Eventhough, it is very tough for me to get through the journey since I was
losing my father when I was a month register at university. I am very affected
emotionally, mentally and physically. It is because my father is my supporter. I am very
closed to my father since I was child rather than my mom. In past, every single thing
that I do I will share to him. He knows every single things of me. He also will be the one
who will comfort when I was not in a good mood or feeling down. He will telling me his
experience going through a lot of problem. With that, I feel very impressed to become
more stronger like him.

Qualities pf a good leader


I think that a good leader is someone who can make decisions while also taking into
account the opinions and feelings of others. This also includes being willing and able to
admit when you’re wrong and course correct.
