When naming your best traits, start by reflecting on the things people have repeatedly commended you for, whether in your professional or personal life. What are the common qualities that you have received praise for at work, in school, or within your family? "It helps showcase interest and effort, but also makes it easier for us to recognize why you're so great! Stand out. Showcase your passion, interest and what makes you a great candidate!"

"I would say some of my best qualities are my joyful attitude, I am a kindhearted spirit, am very empathetic, and am always inclined to help others. I am a great listener and have a real knack for striking up a conversation."
