Question: Describe yourself in one word.

This is a typical job interview question. Write your answer as though you are in an actual interview.

Examples and hints

Interviewers ask this question to see how well you know yourself and how your understanding of yourself meshes with company values. Think about what soft skills are necessary to do the job successfully. Your answer should explain why you chose that word, and a specific example of it in your life. If you have work experience, it is best to use a work-related example.
