How would your current coworkers describe you?
"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.

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.

Instead, opt for characteristics such as determined, goal-oriented, hardworking, or self-motivated.
"My coworkers would say that I am hardworking, confident, and a team player. I feel I best exemplify these traits when the pressure is on, and my team needs someone to kick it into high gear."
