Feel free to name-drop when answering this question. Tell the interviewer if your boss recognized you for a job well done. Tell the interviewer if your boss positively commented on your punctuality, the fact that you never called out sick, and that you were dependable. Think of the traits that make an ideal employee in the eyes of a boss. Added bonus if your boss will write a letter of recommendation for you.

"My boss would describe me as hard-working, knowledgeable, and always up for a challenge. I'm often the one who helps with client load without being asked, the one who others come to with questions, and the clinician who is always willing to take on tasks that I'm unfamiliar with simply because I want to learn and become a better counselor."
