"Ambitious, exuberant, and intuitive would be the words I would use to describe myself. I have a powerful desire to achieve my goals and be a success overall. I do not restrain myself when it comes to showing appreciation for my co-workers or a job at hand, which is why I have been called exuberant by previous employers. Lastly, I am talented when it comes to following leads and my gut, making me a highly intuitive individual."

The interviewer would like to know more about your personality and, considering you are a writer, you should have some unique yet memorable words in mind, for your response. Think about some of the best qualities you possess when it comes to your character, personality and work ethic, ensuring your examples make you a good fit for the job. The qualities you mention should reveal something more profound about you than what may be evident from the interview, or on paper.

"I would describe myself as adaptable, contagious, and determined. I am adaptable in my writing and all other aspects of my life, taking on new challenges and topics even if I am not fully versed in them. I am a contagious personality, making friends and connections easily. I thrive on networking. Also, I am determined to succeed in all that I do and take that determination to boost my team."
