The words you use to describe yourself in the job interview should be as strategically chosen as any job interview answer you give. Every word you use in the job interview should work for you to sell you for the job.
What are great words to describe yourself in a job interview?
- Dynamic – this says that you can change and adapt in order to succeed
- Successful – if you are successful in some areas, chances are you’ll be successful in others
- Strategic – you can make good decisions with the big picture in mind
- Motivated – great for sales positions
- Creative – this is a must for creative-type jobs, of course, but also good for companies that need problem-solvers
- Focused – you don’t get distracted by unnecessary or unhelpful things
