[QUOTE="Afraz Akhtar, post: 236322, member: 43563"] Hey [USER=33968]@FutureTraineeMaybe[/USER] I understand why this question may be a little confusing, it's actually one of the rare chances you get in an application to be personal but that is what they want to see here, something personal. They want to see what makes you tick, what gets you going as a person. For each of us, the answer will be different and could change as the years go on. But think about it deeply, is it a particular ability like problem-solving, a book you read that inspired you, or perhaps a situation which carried a significant impact of your life. Once you have that in mind, you can build the answer out. Once you've highlighted what your motivation is, it could be one or two, focus on why you have them. Then try and link this to certain experiences e.g. if challenges motivate you, focus in on certain challenges you've actually sought out and overcome like competitions. This isn't a call to use the STAR method, but instead a way to showcase how that motivation has driven your previous actions/experiences. [/QUOTE]
