After researching the company before your interview, you should have a firm idea of the qualities they admire most in their candidates. For example, suppose the job you are interviewing for says the company is looking for a dependable, honest, hard-working employee with solid leadership and communication skills. In that case, you would mention the keywords used in the job description to make you stand out as a top candidate to the interviewer.

Great! Just don't overwhelm the interviewer will too many adjectives at once. Take some time to explain and go into further detail (including examples, if possible) about your top three qualities.

Integrity - I am inherently honest and strive for transparency and accountability. If I say I'll do something, I will. I'm innovative and able to find creative solutions to new problems. I'm also great with teams and genuinely enjoy working with others on challenging products to deliver results.
