The interviewer wants to hear how you think others would describe you and that you are honest and self-aware of your strengths and weaknesses. Choose two or three traits that are relevant to the position and that you feel accurately describes you. If you have first-hand input from your former colleagues and residents, use their exact words in your answer.

"At my former job, I sent out a questionnaire to all residents and staff asking what they thought of my performance. I asked what they liked and disliked and was open to suggestions for improvement. I had very positive feedback. Most everyone said I was a good leader, compassionate, and actively listened to their requests. They expressed that I was approachable and easy to talk to."

Marcie's Feedback
Awesome! These are all wonderful qualities. Why do you believe people would describe you in this manner? Have any past reviews cited these traits? Have any residents or their family members complimented you or described you in this way in the past? Try to back up your claims so the interviewer knows that they're truthful and meaningful.
