This question is a shorter version of 'tell us about yourself.' Avoid the common answers such as 'team player' and 'organized' as the interviewer has heard these before. Describing yourself as loyal, honest, and confident will suggest that you are not only good at your job but that you are a kind-natured person. You may choose to answer this question that you are ambitious, diligent, and hard-working, suggesting that you are motivated to work towards a leadership position if given the chance.
