"Everyone is different. Everyone is born different, comes from different backgrounds, and has different perspectives. My style is to approach everyone I encounter professionally, acknowledging we are all having a human experience, and that it is our humanity that unifies us. So regardless of demographic, or situation, I go in unassuming. People sense when you are open or closed. This is how to achieve success. I'd say my style is transparency, being on the level, delivering clear and concise communication, and equal direction and feedback."

Tell the interviewer about your strengths, your flexibility, and that you are easy to work with. Describe your system approach, as well as how you adapt your work style based on the situation. This is an opportunity to highlight what aspects of your work style have greatly benefited your work in the past. If there are aspects of your work-style coworkers have borrowed and adapted into their style, be sure to focus on that as well.
