How To Answer How Would Your Co-workers Describe You Facebook4TweetLinkedInPinEmailShares4 How would your co-workers describe you? This is an interview question that can go either way dependent on how much youve prepared. The interviewer will ask you this question to see how well your answer  reflects your personality and your professional self. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Be prepared If youre not prepared and you attempt to wing this question it can put your chances of getting the job  at risk. You may talk more freely and openly revealing a little too much information. To avoid this, you will need to prepare an answer beforehand. This doesnt necessarily mean you will have to memorise it word for word but instead have a good understanding  of some points you want to express in the interview. Professional reflection Will your answer  portray you as a professional hard-working individual? If you choose to use the example of your co-workers describing you as the office prankster. This probably wont go  down  well  and will reflect  you as someone who constantly jokes around. Not as someone who can knuckle down and get the work done! Even if in your previous role you did manage to do both (pranks and hard work!) youll have a tough time convincing the interviewer. Instead, focus on an answer which demonstrates your hard work, rather than your comedic skills! Example My previous co-workers would describe me as someone who puts their  best efforts into everything they do. This is because with any project, deadline or just normal day to day activities I will work until everything is finished and I am happy with the final outcome. I think they would say this because often within my team I would help others with anything they needed so as a group we were all meeting the same deadlines. This answer is professional but still, gives the interviewer a sense of your personality. Remember..! If you decide to reply with an answer so far away from the truth that shows no personality, you can come across as a bit robotic! So, express your personality with an example that reflects you as a candidate who is willing to work hard and will fit into the new role well.
