The interviewer asks this question to determine if your skills and personality align with their values and work culture. How you answer could indicate whether you would be a complementary fit to their teams. CarMax advertises that part of what makes them one of the top 100 best places to work is that they are consistently "feeling the love. Being a great place to work is less about the place and more about the people. Our associates are at the heart of everything we do." Demonstrate how your personality meets their needs. You want to communicate that you've identified that this environment is just as well suited to you as you are to them.

"I am dedicated, professional, and honest. I think I am a dedicated person because I believe in doing the job to the best of my ability every day. I would say I am a professional because I conduct myself in a manner that does not embarrass myself or cause the company any issues, and honest because I believe in telling the truth and treating the customer and my co-workers in an open, positive, and straightforward manner."
