What are You Passionate About
Sunday, February 26, 2012 10:49The question of “what are you passionate about” is just a variant on “What motivates you”. However, the key to answering a question about passion is ensuring that your body language demonstrates not just enthusiasm but real passion.
In a interview for a job, when all the candidates have similar degrees and are equally knowledgeable, the one who will manage to get the job will be the ones whose eyes and faces lit up when talking about their passion for all the things to do with the job.
If being honest, a lot of people would struggle to find something to be re4ally passionate about at work. So, some people may be tempted to talk about a passion outside of work, such as a sporting interest or a community project. However, if you do mention an outside interest, it allows the interviewers to wonder whether you will be able to bring all your energies to work. So, you need to balance this and try to keep your answer within the world of work.
