How to Describe Yourself in an Interview- 9 Methods With Examples

How to describe yourself in an interview- 9 methods with examples

Table of Contents

  • 1. A meaningful summary about yourself  
  • 2. The resourceful employee who thrives in pressure 
  • 3. A great collaborator  
  • 4. The right amount of confident 
  • 5. Self motivated learner
  • 6. Talk about experience and knowledge in the field 
  • 7. Natural leader
  • 8. Creative thinking 
  • 9. Customer oriented 
  • Takeaway 

When a job interviewer poses a question and a list of diverse options of answers pops up in your head, you might be caught off guard and this confusing expression sends the wrong impression. The smart way to deal with such questions is to research the job title and work environment thoroughly so that you can tailor an appropriate response. This answer should fit into their needs and what they require in order to keep their work flow smooth. 

This article will portray nine ways in which you can do this so that you can go confidently for your next interview. If you want a quick read, just skim through the sample answers.

1. A meaningful summary about yourself  

When an interviewer asks you to describe yourself in a sentence or a limited number of words, you shouldn’t just go for a plain description like a resume but use some meaningful adjectives to talk about qualities that you have developed over time. 

Sample answer: ‘I think I am an accountable, humble and detail-oriented person’

2. The resourceful employee who thrives in pressure 

Rigidity and lack of composure is bad for workplaces that require you to constantly respond to stressful situations and unpredictable scenarios. This can be a perfect answer if you do not know much about the job description because it shows how adaptable you are. 

Sample answer: ‘My previous job has taught how to deal with constantly changing situations so I have learned to be flexible and adapt with the issue at hand’

3. A great collaborator  

If you have researched and found that the job you are applying for requires a lot of teamwork and building a community is part of the work culture, it is important to talk about your ability to collaborate. 

Sample answer: ‘I like working independently but I also enjoy the persuasive and healthy communication during team projects. I think I can communicate well because of my work experience in sales’

4. The right amount of confident 

This is a very important aspect of your personality because you should seem like you know what you are talking about. At the same time, you should not be overconfident and convery your abilities in a humble way. 

Sample answer: ‘Peers usually come to me for answers because of my candid and mature approach towards issues. Even if I am not 100% sure about something, I can still trust myself and pick a direction to work with’

5. Self motivated learner

This is a useful tip for jobs where you do not have enough experience but are willing to learn. So be honest and talk about how you are always open to learning. 

Sample answer: ‘I like being curious about how things work so I am a proactive learner and keep attending workshops, conferences and trainings for my growth’

6. Talk about experience and knowledge in the field 

Highlighting this part should not be ignored especially if the job is a technical one. Use very clear vocabulary to describe your expertise. 

Sample answer: ‘I’m very meticulous with my work because of my 20 years of experience in the field of education. I always keep my communication direct and try to apply everything I have learned from my seniors’

7. Natural leader

Applying for a leadership role would certainly require some information about your ability to guide a team and work together. 

Sample answer: ‘I think my communication skills make me a natural leader and I happily choose to lead projects. Bringing out the best in all my team members and working towards a common goal is very exciting work for me’

8. Creative thinking 

Businesses that are looking for an out-of-the-box approach towards their problems, would certainly appreciate someone with creative thinking.

Sample answer: ‘I would consider myself a creative individual because I like finding new and improved ways of overcoming challenges. This increases the confidence of the team and the healthy adventure makes them grow’

9. Customer oriented 

Jobs that require ensuring customer satisfaction need someone who is focused on their demands and tries to find solutions to their problems. 

Sample answer: ‘Whenever I communicate with clients, I try to find exactly what it is that they need through the style of my conversation and once I have uncovered that, we can work together to reach to that goal’ 

Tips for a successful job interview

Takeaway 

You must keep in mind that these are formulas, you have to stay genuine and add your own essence to the guide we have given. Try to keep it short and do not boast or go off on a tangent while having a discussion. Do not talk about negative experiences and qualities too much as it takes the discussion into a pessimistic direction that can ruin your chances of leaving a good impression. 

Be thoughtful and articulate and know the needs of the company well so that you can present how your expertise fits into their needs. Always make your answers personal so that you seem honest and present in the moment. To find out more about what kind of jobs and career you will have after your degree, book a session with our mentors.
