How to describe yourself in a job interview exercise part 1

In a job interview, you will be asked a question by an interviewer where you have to tell them what type of person you are. Although this is not a difficult question to answer, it is a difficult question to answer well.

To impress the people interviewing you with your answer, you need to not only describe your personality using words which sound professional and choose the right type of personality characteristics to talk about for the job that you are having the interview for, but also say in what ways you are like them after you have said them and why being like this is important.

To help you do this, I have created two online exercises where you’ll learn 25 professional sounding English words (13 in this exercise and 12 in the next) to describe your personality in a job interview.

After you have done this first part, I recommend that you then do the second part of this exercise. In this second part, you’ll learn 12 more words you can use and also how to decide which personality characteristics to talk about in a job interview.

Read the following two replies in a job interview to the question, ‘How would you describe yourself?‘. The first, is from a candidate for the position of a manager. The second, is from a candidate for the position of a computer analyst.

From the context, try to guess what the meaning of the words/phrases in bold are. Then do the quiz at the end to check if you are right.

For a manager’s position:

‘Well, first of all, I am very hands-on. I like to be involved in everything that my team does. It is easier to manage staff if they see you with them a lot of the time. Also, I am very supportive. I encourage people and that brings the best out in them. It works better than criticising them. I am there if any of my team need any type of help, because people are not machines. In addition, I see myself as a natural leader. I have the ability to direct, organise and inspire people. This is especially important when you are a manager, because as you know, if your staff do not respect or trust you, then it is highly likely that the team does not work as it could or should.

I would also say that I am very goal-orientated. I always set myself objectives or targets which I have to meet. For example, when I started my career, I set myself a goal of being promoted to a manager inside of 2 years, and I achieved it. Also, I am a very proactive type of person. I never wait for things to go wrong. I make sure that I identify any possible issues before they happen, and introduce changes and processes to ensure that they do not occur. This is very important in business today.

And in addition, I am pragmatic. I am a realist and understand that change is a business necessity. And that in the world of business you sometimes have to do things that you don’t necessarily agree with.

And lastly, I am dynamic. I am very motivated and I am full of ideas of how to run a team. And I have the energy and the confidence to do it.’

For a computer analyst’s position:

‘I am a very methodical person. I work in a very organised and systematic way to avoid making mistakes. Which is very important in Information Technology (IT), where one small mistake can cost a lot of time and money. In addition, I am reliable. You can trust me to do any work well that I am given. This is very important when you are not under constant supervision. Also, I am hard-working. I am generally the first person to arrive in the office and one of the last to leave.

In addition, I am very analytical, which is very important for any career in science or IT. I always use a combination of logic and analysis when I do my work. This is really useful when you are developing a new project or problem solving. And I am also punctual. I am never late to a meeting or to work.

But most importantly, I am very innovative. I love to create and improve new procedures and applications. In fact, in my current company, I was responsible for the improvements in their online ordering system, that reduced the delivery time to clients.’

I do consider all the ideas you’ve introduced for your post.
They’re really convincing and can certainly work.
Still, the posts are very short for beginners. Could you please extend them a little from next time?
Thanks for the post.
