When you answer this question, draw from your last performance review and a piece of feedback you have received from your most recent boss or coworkers. You do not want to merely guess what your manager thinks of you. Solidify your answer by referring to the reliable employment references you can provide.

"My last manager and I had a close relationship. She appreciated all of my efforts when it came to working overtime and taking my work home when required. I believe she would describe me as unique, reliable and energetic."

"In my recent performance reviews and discussions, my manager describes me as a hard worker, motivated, and consistent employee. I always strive to exceed expectations when I can. My current manager is happy to speak on my behalf as a positive reference as well."

"My manager and I get along well. He valued my depth of knowledge as a senior budget analyst and gave me the freedom to do my job how I wanted, as long as I got the job done. I think he would tell you that I am dedicated and will go the extra mile to deliver results."
