QUESTION 9 OF 30

How would your coworkers describe you?

"My supervisory experience is somewhat limited. However, I do believe those that have worked with me would say that I am approachable and that I am willing to work hard to make teamwork effective."

"I feel confident that those who have worked under my direction would speak well of me. I am hardworking and passionate about, not only my patients, but an advocate for fellow employees, as well. I always try to remember what it feels like to work under the supervision of someone else and to show appreciation and give credit for a job well done."

Questions such as this one are asked with the aim of getting you to discuss some of your qualities, perhaps hidden, that you wouldn't have mentioned if you weren't asked. Remember to share positives, but not sound conceited.

"My colleagues will tell you that I am a team player and that I am
someone they feel comfortable coming to when they need an extra hand or someone to talk to."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

I believe my coworkers would describe me as someone who goes out of their way to help the team, someone who's a little meticulous (especially about medication) and someone who genuinely cares about all the clients individually.

Kristine's Feedback

Great answer! Adding " a little" before meticulous weakens your response, so I removed that part. Otherwise, impressive response!
