What do you say when asked "describe yourself"?

[madeara]

I am motivated, hard working and dedicated.  I work well alone as well as with others.

The last time I said that about working with others I was told to pick one. I could not have it both ways. I told them I can't pick one. Obviously you want a specific answer. I have worked with others and it was fine. I was worked totally alone and it was fine.

I don't like that question either, but I would always say, I am dependable, trustworthy, honest and a team player.

I don't, usually, run into that question anymore but would probably say, old, fat, white woman.

I mostly put I'm quiet Lol Even on a interview for a job the person questioning me would just give me the look and laugh it off.

But that is not something that you could use in a job interview. haha  Well depending on the job maybe you could.  As far as job interviews I think it is a question to get you to tell them things that they cannot ask you in an interview.  And the standard others have said like I am hard working, blah blah blah doesn't cut it.  They just write it off.

lol  I like the dead silence look.  When they are waiting for you to say something else and you are finished with your answer and you just sit there looking at each other.  I honestly do not remember the last time I was asked that question.  The last job interview I had I already knew I was going to be hired for the "interview" was just basically to fill out paper work.

Sometimes I research the company and input something for myself of what they want.

I wasn't thinking of this question as aligned with a job interview, just in general. When I worked aand mentioned a characteristic/quality, I would also provide an example. But generally speaking, I am a retired, divorced female who is not looking because I stay busy and enjoy my own company although I talk and go out with several friends on occasion.

This is a question I have a hard time answering. One thing I can say is I care too much about others.

[makeblessed]

I am a very caring person and accept people wherever they are in their life journey, life is to short to sweat small stuff!

[BEENICE]

I don't like describing myself! I don't pick words like I used to.

[vg7405]

I honestly do not do well with questions that ask about myself. However, I usually use the same spiel (I am reliable, dependable, punctual, detail-oriented, results-driven), which I derive from personal experience and the description of the job position.
