16. How would your current coworkers describe you?
How to Answer
This question is a version of 'describe yourself' but with a twist. By asking how your coworkers would describe you, you're more likely to give a candid, less canned response. Choose a few adjectives that are both truthful and ideally connected to a sales personality/career. This question would not be the time to describe yourself as reserved and introverted. Instead, opt for characteristics such as determined, goal-oriented, hardworking, or self-motivated.

Entry Level
"My current coworkers would describe me as fast-paced, dedicated, and reliable. I currently work in a restaurant, and am known as the go-to for picking up shifts, or staying later than I was initially scheduled to help another teammate out. I love when the restaurant is busy, and I have more than my fair share of tables because I work well under pressure in a fast-paced environment, which is something all of my coworkers would corroborate."

"I believe my colleagues and supervisors would all agree that I love the chase of the sale and building relationships- both within the office and with prospects. I know that I was born a salesperson: always building relationships, looking for commonality, and then using it to convince that person to "buy"; whether that's a product, an idea, or even just my point of view."
