Why Are You Being Asked This Question?
Well, they are asking you this question because they want to assess what motivates you. Are you motivated by money or greed, or are you motivated by helping other people, using your time wisely, and having a positive impact on the world through your actions? If you are motivated by the latter, you are more likely to get hired.
Top-Scoring Example Answer
“If I won the lottery, I wouldn’t initially tell anyone apart from my closest relatives. I would also take the time to consider what I was going to do with the money. I wouldn’t go out and spend anything initially because I would want to be responsible. I would then probably help my family and closest friends, donate some of the money to the causes that are closest to my heart, pay off my mortgage, and perhaps buy the car I’ve always wanted. I don’t think I would give up work because it gives me structure, a sense of purpose, and I enjoy being around people in a positive environment.”
