Most people know what their friends think of them, whether it is goofy, hard-working, reliable, funny, honest, lazy, or any other words they would use to describe you. You want to pick three words that will complement a position as an EMT and elaborate why you chose those words. When an interviewer asks how your friends would describe you, one has to dig a little deeper than if they asked you to describe yourself.

"I think my friends would describe me as reliable, compassionate, and hard-working. If I say I am going to do something or be somewhere, they can count on me. I am compassionate and feel that I understand what people are going through and are empathetic to their situations. I work hard and will do anything to achieve my goals."
