Though my current job isn't related to my field, I did get employee of the month once and am usually told by my managers that I have a good work ethic and am a team player.
I understand that in comparison to other applicants, I may not have the experience and knowledge, but I have the passion to learn and improve my craft if I am given the chance. One of the greatest motivation are my family who always supported me, as well as my drive to succeed.
