      How to Answer

      It can be a challenge to guess what other people might say about you and your personality, especially if it feels as though you are bragging about yourself. Take some time to think about the kudos you have received from your co-workers recently, as it relates to your relationship-building skills. Perhaps you received a friendly email thanking you for the way you handled a challenging communication situation between a teacher and a parent. Maybe a colleague paid you a compliment regarding how you dealt with a challenging decision involving another teacher. Explain how you believe your personality is perceived, and be sure to express the ways that you plan to bring these traits to your new role.
