Darby Faubion has been a Nurse and Allied Health Educator for over 20 years. She has clinical experience in several specialty areas, including pediatrics, medical-surgical, critical care, and hospice.

"My supervisory experience is somewhat limited. However, I do believe those that have worked with me would say that I am approachable and that I am willing to work hard to make teamwork effective."

Darby Faubion

"I feel confidant that those who have worked under my direction would speak well of me. I am hardworking and passionate about, not only my patients, but an advocate for fellow employees, as well. I always try to remember what it feels like to work under the supervision of someone else and to show appreciation and give credit for a job well done."

Questions such as this one are asked with the aim of getting you to discuss some of your qualities, perhaps hidden that you wouldn't have mentioned if you weren't asked. Remember to share positives, but not sound conceited.

"My colleagues will tell you that I am a team player and that I am
someone they feel comfortable coming to when they need an extra hand or someone to talk to."

They would describe me as friendly and approachable.

Marcie's Feedback

Nice! What else? Then talk more about each descriptive term you mention. See below for an example of another way you could answer this question:

I think that my subordinates would describe me as friendly and approachable. While I always maintain a professional demeanor, I'm also just naturally nice. I enjoy working in an atmosphere where people have fun working together and treat each other with respect and kindness, so I strive to cultivate this type of environment within my team. Also, as a manager, I believe it's important that people can come to me with questions and concerns, so I make myself available and strive to be an active listener. In addition, I believe they would also describe me as hard-working, organized, compassionate, collaborative, and a quick thinker.
