Culture fit is important to us at Airbnb. How would you describe your personality?
Named 'Company of the Year' among other prestigious awards, Airbnb bucks the system when it comes to typical corporate workplace culture. The more you read, the more you will see that their model is for people who ask for excellence from themselves, their employer, and their colleagues. According to Brian Chesky, the founder of Airbnb, 'Culture is simply a shared way of doing something with passion.'
Discuss with the interviewer how you would describe your personality, keeping these core needs and values in mind.
"I believe my personality will fit well with the Airbnb award-winning culture since I am an independent decision-maker who widely accepts and implements feedback."
"I can work independently and have no issues self-managing, whether working in the office or from home. I would describe myself as a passionate doer with an award-winning attitude. I believe in flexibility and creativity, and I'm adaptable, never getting stuck on particular rules or hiding behind them. I have excellent interpersonal skills and thrive on human connection through any form of communication. I am consistently considerate of my employers, coworkers, and customers and would likewise be so with our destination partners and all stakeholders."

I would describe myself as a passionate and disciplined do-er. I'm hungry to learn more and be challenged by a team of positive, hard-working individuals. I'm adaptable and a quick learner, and above all, I believe in kindness and am considerate of my coworkers.
