What are you passionate about? Employers are seeking to know how much enthusiasm a person may have for a position. They are seeking a reaction from an individual to see if they are truly passionate in the discussion. It is difficult for many people to be passionate about the work they do. But it is a reflection on the ability to make progress in a professional way. Many people tend to be a bit too hard on themselves when it comes to their progress, seemingly for no valid reason. They like to hold themselves to such high standards for no reason other than to try to push themselves harder, but in reality, it might be detracting from their overall experience. If you’re not able to be happy when you make progress, you’re going to have a hard time motivating yourself to keep on going, leading to you burn out or give up altogether before you achieve your goals.
