What is self-motivation?
Being self-motivated is about doing your job well because you want to, and not simply because it pays your wages. Self-motivated individuals want to be the best they can be regardless of where they work and will often take responsibility for projects even when they do not need to.
Self-motivated individuals tend to:
- Work longer and later than others
- Learn new skills and take regular training courses
- Take ownership of problems
- Become team leaders
- Go above and beyond their job description
Why do employers want self-motivated people?
Self-motivated employees need a lot less managing than less determined individuals, so are highly sought after by recruitment agencies and HR departments.
if you are self-motivated, you will normally want everything you do to be of the highest quality and you will always see the bigger picture that the company is looking at. Self-motivated individuals are motivated by improving themselves, and they only way they can do this is by making the company they work for better.
I will mentor you for – How can you show you have it?
Desire and self-motivation are difficult qualities to show. Expect to be asked questions about times when you have risen to a challenge or taken control of a situation. Employers are looking for people who have taken charge of a situation and solved it in a creative or innovative way. Fundraising is a good way to show initiative, as is times when you’ve identified a problem and come up with a solution.
You can also demonstrate self-motivation by emphasising the quality of your work and the impact it has had on your studies or previous jobs.
