The Fourth Secret: Motivation and Intelligent Enthusiasm

Motivation is one of the professional values that all employers like to see in their employees. From the employer’s side of the desk, the preference for motivated, intelligently enthusiastic candidates is roughly this:

• The motivated and intelligently enthusiastic candidate will work harder and will turn in a superior work product.

• Someone who really enjoys his work and is engaged in his profession will be easier to work and get along with, and that will be a positive influence and a welcome, happy addition to the team.

• Someone who is enthusiastic and motivated by his work is likely to have a greater understanding of the job and therefore a greater commitment to taking the rough with the smooth.

In a tightly run job race, when there is really nothing to choose between two top contenders, the job offer will always go to the most intelligently enthusiastic candidate. However, interviews are stressful situations, and when you are stressed, your defenses are up and you retreat behind a wall of stiff professionalism: The natural enthusiasm and motivations that normally are part of your professional persona are restrained.

So, the fourth secret of the hire is an admonishment to allow your natural enthusiasm for your work and for this job opportunity to shine through, rather than hide it because of interview nerves or a misconstrued sense of professionalism.

When it comes to a tightly run job race between equally qualified candidates, remember that the offer will always go to the most intelligently enthusiastic candidate. Show enthusiasm for your work, your profession, and the opportunity; it just might be the tiebreaker for your ideal job.
