Personality and character are closely related. For instance, someone with an honest character or good work ethic will tend to be more open about his or her beliefs as well as personal and professional expectations. The interviewer is looking for cues as to what character you may bring to the table, so to speak. It is important to remember, body language speaks volume and eye contact is a big indicator of your self-esteem, and your self-esteem is reflected outwardly in your personality. Be confident when you answer and make eye contact with the interviewer.

I always try to stay positive and make the most of everything. Kids are smart and pick up on how people act. Their little eyes are always watching, and we need to set an example for them.

Wonderful response! I assisted with minor edits.
People pick up on my positivity most readily. Children are very smart and pick up on people's actions and reactions. Their little eyes are always watching, so I make a conscious effort to set a good example.

I would like people to notice that I have a positive attitude even when there is a lot going on. I would also like people to notice that I am a team player and will pull my weight on a team to finish whatever needs to be done. I would also like people to see me as approachable and that people feel they can come to me to ask me a question or ask for help with a task. Additionally, I would like people to see that I have a desire to grow and learn and that I seek out opportunities to learn as much as possible so I can provide the best patient care.
