"I have been described as the energizer bunny by many of my close colleagues as I've always had lots of energy and enthusiasm. I am confident that most people would describe me as fun to work with. I work hard to do my job and make it enjoyable for myself, my patients, and my team. Last, my colleagues and leaders have always described me as knowledgeable in the field. I like to figure things out, solve problems and ask questions. I am always learning and would love to pass along my years of knowledge to my team as a Band 7 Manager."

Before your interview, research the 'buzz' words employers seek and pick ones that resonate with you. Intellectual, perfectionist (not a bad thing for a nurse), ethical, enthusiastic, team player, great communicator, invested, organized, and professional maturity are all great personality traits of a Band 7 Manager. Choose words that showcase your qualities and excite the interviewer.
