How do you answer 'Describe your personal qualities that suit the requirements of this position' in a job interview?

Answer

I am an account service intern right now with an ad agency in Austin. An account executive needs to be extremely organized and time-oriented. Be prepared to multi-task and know what it going on at all times. Be open to ideas and know when to keep your mouth shut. Be nit-picky and be ready to come in early and leave the office late.

Answer

Im a team player,responsible and enthusiastic. I give my best in everything that i do

Answer

Look at the job description. Pick out key words that describe you. If you have time beforehand, make a list of the qualities they are looking for that also describe you.

They just want to know if you are a good match for the job. If you truly can't come up with any qualities that suit what they are looking for, you're probably applying for the wrong job.

Answer

Highlight any parts of the job or job description that sound like you but add positive comments to each description.

TELL the intervewer how closely you match the job description ("I'm an excellent writer." or "My great personality and helpfulness are perfect for customer service." or "I know many of the required software programs and I'm also a quick learner!" )

Are they looking for someone who has a lot of computer skills? Do you have these skills? Then go on and on about them! :o)

Answer

They are asking what qualities you have that will make you a good choice for the job. For example, if you are applying for a secretarial job they don't care if you have carpentry skills. They'll want to know how fast you can type and how organized you are.

They want to know if you are a good match for the job. If you truly can't come up with any qualities that suit what they are looking for, you're probably applying for the wrong job.

Are you applying for a job in a law firm? If you feel that you are good with handling confidential material, SAY SO. Are you applying for a high stress job but you're good under pressure? SAY SO.
