Avoid guessing what your most recent manager thinks of you. If you are not certain, CVS Pharmacy may not feel confident in your employer/employee relationships. For instance, rather than saying, "I think maybe my manager would describe me as dedicated to my work," try saying, "My manager would describe me as dedicated to my work because I deliver on deadlines and often make myself available after hours when my clients need me."

Hopefully, your current leader communicates with you and regularly expresses what they enjoy and appreciate about your work ethic. If possible, form your response around takeaways from your last performance review or a piece of feedback you have recently received from your leader. You can further solidify your answer by referring to reliable references, such as any LinkedIn recommendations on your profile.

Offer one to three of your best traits when you respond. Then, support those traits with an example of a time you emulated those behaviors. You can also provide details of a measurable accomplishment. For instance, if you received a 100% customer satisfaction survey result, mention this achievement as supporting evidence. You could say, "My most recent manager would say that I am customer-focused. I recently received a 100% customer satisfaction rating in our company's latest customer happiness survey."
