How would your co-workers describe you?
Think about positive traits others use to describe you. Focus on the characteristics that are most valued in the workplace. Explain why your coworkers think you have these traits or an experience showing these characteristics. Prepare two or three examples that you can use in your interview. These examples can also be applied when discussing your strengths, another potential interview question.
"My coworkers have consistently said that I am easy to work with because of my pleasant attitude and ability to work as a team. I pride myself on being positive at work, which tends to radiate to those I work closely with."
"If you were to talk to any of my current co-workers or classmates, they would point out that I am a dedicated person who puts 100% into everything I do. By being focused both on the job and in school, my work is detailed and completed thoroughly with no mistakes, and I am proud that I learned this dedication from my parents at a young age."
"My co-workers would describe me as being hard working. I'm always the first in and the last to leave each day. I always make a point to be helpful to my patients and co-workers. We all have times when we get busy, and lending a helping hand always goes a long way in the workplace."

My co-workers can describe me as a hard-working, reliable, responsible, and a good listener. They know I'm always available when they need me to help with a project, stay overtime to help them or listen if they need someone to talk to.

You sound like an ideal coworker! Now, consider going a step further to share why they would describe you in this way. Do you go above and beyond to help when the team is very busy? Do they depend on you to help resolve conflict if a customer doesn't understand an issue? Are you the employee that keeps team morale high by proposing solutions to problems and being optimistic when the day is challenging?
