QUESTION 12 OF 23

What three words would you use to describe yourself?

This is a classic interview question, so you should have a few adjectives prepared to share and explain. If you are unsure, consider the feedback you've gotten from trusted colleagues or managers in the past, or take an online strengths test to help yourself generate words that accurately describe you. Carefully pick three words and share how you exhibit each one.

"Three words that best describe me are optimistic, adaptable, and loyal. By nature, I am very positive, upbeat, and always look on the bright side; I bring that attitude to work every day. I'm also very adaptable, flexible, and can think on my feet. When plans change or something goes awry, I can stay calm and readjust with ease. I'm also extremely loyal to the people and things I care about. It is important to me to be a person of great integrity, so I can be counted on to do what I say I will do and stick around, even when times are tough."
