What would your previous coworkers say about you?
Interviewers ask this question to see how honest and self-aware you are. They also want to see what type of employee you are and what traits you have that would make you a good fit in the organization. Highlight two or three qualities that your previous coworkers would use to describe you and explain why. Use traits or qualities that pertain to the position you are applying to.
"I think my previous coworkers would describe me as someone who has an exceptional work ethic and is always dependable. I always arrive for my shift early and help my coworkers with anything they need to finish up their shift. Sometimes, they get to leave early when working together to complete the tasks. If someone asks me to do something, they know they can depend on me to get the job done without supervision. And, they know they can depend on me to show up for my shift and not call in sick. I only used one sick day in three years working my last job, and it was because I had been in a car accident and was in the emergency room."
