Personality and character are two very different things. The interviewer is looking for more information on your traits vs. your integrity. Your example could include buzzwords such as introverted, energetic, and confident.

"I'm genuinely easy-going, probably from all the international travel I experienced in my 20's. I like to do the right thing, and sometimes I get stressed trying to reach that goal, but I think it's a worthwhile endeavor. I can be funny, but my sense of humor is pretty dry, so people don't always know that about me when they first meet me."

I describe myself as an extroverted introvert. Most people don't realize that my natural inclination is to be an introvert but I have worked very hard over my life to be outgoing, approachable, and friendly. I make of point of smiling often and finding ways to relate to new people that I meet by focusing on our commonalities.

Rachelle's Feedback

It's good that you have learned to adapt! Depending on the nature of your role, I recommend avoiding comments that suggest you are not naturally a friendly or approachable individual (you say you work very hard to be outgoing, approachable, and friendly). Most decision-makers will assume that, under stress, you will default to your comfort zone (not outgoing, not approachable, unfriendly). As an introvert, you may be more comfortable working independently or being in a more reflective setting, but I'd argue that this doesn't make you unfriendly. Perhaps a more constructive approach is to focus on the traits you feel match Grady Memorial's needs. For instance, being flexible, optimistic, and encouraging are likely traits that the hiring company would value if you are in a training role. I've offered an example for you below.

"I describe myself as an extroverted introvert. I am highly aware of my settings and appreciate working in an encouraging and reflective environment where people are respected and ideas are heard. As an extroverted introvert, I like to observe people and then get to know them on a more meaningful, personal level. I am approachable and friendly and appreciate authentic conversations. Bringing these personality traits to this role with Grady Memorial, I will create genuine connections with my co-workers and the students that I mentor..."
