Personality is the combination of characteristics and qualities that form an individual's distinctive character. The interviewers ask this question to see how your friends view you and what they would say makes you unique to see if you will be a good person to choose for the position. It is best to use three to four words that your friends would use to describe your personality, with examples to show why they would describe you that way.

"My friends would describe my personality as outgoing, friendly, and compassionate. I make friends easily as I love to talk to people and get to know them personally, and I am always friendly with everyone I meet. I believe in treating everyone with kindness and respect and always helping people when needed. My friends constantly say I am a people person and chose the right profession to work in."

"My friends would describe me as easy-going and positive. I'm the encourager in my friend group, and I've always taken on that counsellor role when others are going through a hard time. I love to help others, even if it's just listening when they need to vent or talk through a situation they are going through. I enjoy being there for others and uplifting them when times are tough. They would say I'm easy-going in the sense that I don't get worked up or upset easily, and I'm a patient person who can handle stressful situations well."
