What gets you up every morning?
The interviewer needs to understand what drives you. What are your motivations? What are you most passionate about? Will this job serve your larger purpose? He needs to understand if this job fits you.
Do's
• Tell about your work related passions and how this position fits you
• Narrate how this profession and job fulfills your life purpose
• Tell about a real life example where a project excited you and you worked day and night to complete
• Tell how this profession gets you into the flow
• Tell how this job keeps you engaged and enriches you to become better
Don'ts
• Don't talk about money, position or the corner room
• It is not about what time you get up or go to bed

Deliberate practice improves our success in an interview
Practice is the act of carrying out an activity again and again, to gain mastery over an activity. Psychologist Professor Anders Ericsson coined the term deliberate practice. Talent is important but it is the deliberate practice which makes an ordinary man into extra-ordinary person.
Deliberate practice is purposeful and systematic. You need to have a specific goal, stay focussed, avoid distractions, follow a regular practice schedule, and step up the game in terms of tougher challenges, enable correct feedback to build and gain mastery. Breaking down a task and improving small chunks through regular practice with immediate and correct feedback helps hone the expertise. Deliberate practice is learning by doing and stepping into an uncomfortable zone.
