Each of us is a complex human being. We have our strengths and weaknesses, our past, dream,s our friends and role models. Each of us is unique, and it may take more than 1,000 words to give at least a somehow accurate description of any person in the world. Still, it would be only somehow accurate.
What to do, however, when hiring managers ask you to describe yourself with the help of one word only? That’s really a tricky situation. They typically expect to hear your greatest strength, or something that is really characteristic for you, something that makes you stand out from the other job applicants in the hiring process. But it’s a silly question indeed, because one word does never tell the entire story…
Silly or not, you may get this question in your interview. And you should not remain silent, or think for five minutes before you pick the one word that describes you better than anything else. I put together a list of 100 words, each of them telling something about a person, and divided it to ten groups. Let’s see if you can find your winner in my selection.

What you pick means a lot to you–either in good or bad way
Be careful about your choice. It indicates (at least in the eyes of the interviewers) what matters the most to you. Let me give you a few examples. If you pick a role, or a name of a profession you have or field you studies (manager, engineer, teacher, programmer, etc), it shows that work is really important to you, that it is what you think about the most, and perhaps even live for. Not a bad choice for most hiring managers.
If you pick a character ability–some strength (empathic, responsible, honest, etc), it suggest that you built your identity around this ability, and consider it the greatest asset you can offer to your next employer. This can work work, especially if you pick something fitting to the job description, or for the the company culture.
Is it okay to pick a weakness?
Maybe you feel like a victim, or really unlucky in your life. Or you are just a dreamer, still waiting for your opportunity to realize your ambitions. Or you feel lonely, deserted, or almost a nobody.
I have complete understanding for your feelings. Who says that he never experienced something similar is lying. All of us have some bad days. However, you should focus on something positive in a job interview. Nobody wants to hire an employee who will walk around the office with their head bent, pitting themselves, or even seeding negativity in their colleagues.
Referring to your emotion or condition when it comes to interviewing is another interesting idea
Why not saying that you are excited, or enthusiastic? It is always good if the hiring managers get an impression that the interview is important to you, that you are happy to be where you are. You can describe these feelings when they ask you to describe yourself in one word.
After all, our emotions change, so do our roles in life. Hence it is fine to pick something fleeting, something that describes who you are, or how you feel, in the exact moment when they ask the question. If the interview isn’t going well, or you flopped some questions, you can even pick unprepared, or nervous for your answer.
Experiment with unconventional answers when you have nothing to lose
Interview is a sales talk, and you should try to tell them something that makes a good impression, that show you in the best possible light. However, if the “sales talk” hasn’t been going well up to this point, if you feel that your chances are getting slimmer with each next question, you can try your luck with something unconventional, or even bizarre.
When you find yourself in a situation when you have nothing to lose, why not characterize yourself as crazy, alive, or as an ace, an idealist, or even as a soul? Such a choice allows for a lot of options when they ask you to elaborate on your answer.
And even if they do not ask you to elaborate on your strange choice, it is definitely something they will remember long time after the end of your interview. It’s better when they remember you in any association, than when they forget you five minutes after the end of your interview, perhaps because you told them the same things everyone else did…
If they give you a chance, you should elaborate on your answer
One word is not really enough, but initially that’s what you should say. Because it’s also a test of your ability to follow instructions and orders, so one word is one word, and if you say three or opt for an entire sentence, you are losing points in this interview.
However, if there’s a moment of silence once you tell your word, you may ask whether they do not want you to elaborate on your characteristic, on the one word you picked. And that’s the opportunity you’ve been waiting for, a chance to explain how the characteristic will help you in your new job, or why the one is so important, so special to you, that you picked it from the huge selection of words that characterize your character, life, and attitude…

An interview is a set of inter-related questions that evaluate a person’s personality, behavior, and approach. It is necessary that all these questions are handled and answered in an appropriate way, after thorough preparation and understanding. Efforts must be laid to stick to the core of an answer instead of wandering. An answer that is not crisp or to the point shows your lack of understanding and preparation. This is a personality evaluating question that must be answered after a thorough self-analysis and scrutiny of the self.
Three Tips To Effectively Answer This Question
1) Tell You Major Strength
The best way to answer this question is to share with them your one major strength. After sharing a single word of strength, you are expected to explain this word to your interviewer. This explanation must accompany a logical and well-structured answer that closely resonates and defines your personality in totality.
2) Stick To The Demand Of The Question
This question requires you to explain yourself in a single word. You might be having a lot of wonderful capabilities and strengths in you. But it is high time that you picked and prepared any one strength. Enumerating a long list of strengths is not appropriate for this question as you are expected to respond in a concise and crisp manner.
3) Not One, You can Use ‘Two’ Also
This interview question states that you have to speak a single word. But however, do not follow this question verbatim and try to understand the essence. As an ideal response to this answer, you can use two words also, such as Detail Oriented, Excellent Communication, or Highly Adaptable. The two words used would be counted as one and will not doubt your understanding ability.
Ten Best Sample Answers
Sample Answer One
I would like to say ‘Hardworking’. In my humble opinion, this is the closest word that truly resembles and demonstrates my ability. This also is my biggest strength and along with this, I am looking forward to honing my several other skills also, while working without your prestigious organization.
Sample Answer Two
Sure sir. The one word that describes me is “Detail Oriented”. I am a meticulous person that loves to collect a lot of information before initiating a particular project. This helps me to maintain a high level of accuracy while executing the project and also enhances my ability to finish the task in a time-bound manner.
Sample Answer Three
I would like to state that, ‘Perseverance’ is the word that defines my true personality and attitude. I have a unique ability to continue despite facing difficulties. This makes me worthy of delivering an excellent performance even in times of distress and heavy workload. There are also some situations when an individual has to work for longer periods of time without any break. My ability to persevere helps me a lot in such challenging situations.
Sample Answer Four
My ability to ‘Prioritize’ effectively is the one word that closely resonates and defines my true personality. As we all know, organizations prefer to allot more than one task, that is to be executed during a single workday. In order to finish them in a time-bound manner, it is necessary that employees effectively prioritize. I do so, by arranging the tasks to be executed on the basis of their difficulty level. The toughest being executed initially and followed by some easier tasks.
Sample Answer Five
Absolutely sir. ‘Adaptation’ is the one word that defines me. I have a unique ability to adapt myself according to the different situations arising in one’s workplace. Modification of one’s attitude, behavior, and approach as per the needs and situations, is of prime importance in delivering a stellar performance at one’s workplace. Further, adaptations also allow an employee to work smoothly in a team setting.
Sample Answer Six
The one word that describes me is ‘Communication’. I have the attribute to communicate with all my colleagues, bosses, and seniors effectively and efficiently. Impactful communication skills are effective in assuming leadership responsibilities as this enables you to reach a commanding position, wherein people choose to listen to you. This way, I am able to extend the guidelines and several other important rules with great ease and knowledge.
Sample Answer Seven
I am pretty sure, that word is ‘Patience’. I am always calm and composed no matter how tough or challenging the situation is. This helps me to take better and informed business decisions even in the most difficult times and conditions. Patience is a virtue that is hard to find and people possessing it are poised to reach great heights. I am really honored and lucky to have such an attribute as a natural instinct.
Sample Answer Eight
I am ‘Progressive’, Whatever it is, be it a task at the workplace or it is my career, I have a burning desire inside me to become better every day. This prompts me to work hard and push my limits by achieving the daily targets in an orderly fashion. Progression in career, at tasks executed at a workplace, allows an individual to have the taste of some self-improving abilities, prompting him or her to advance in career and fetch higher salaries.
Sample Answer Nine
The one word that defines me is ‘Loyalty’. It is not a wonder, that once you hire me, I will not leave your organization until my date of retirement. I would leave only when there are a few exceptional or uncontrollable circumstances that are beyond my imagination. I am a very committed and loyal person, willing to work and serve with a single employer. This gives me stability in life and also an employer is saved from the higher attrition costs.
Sample Answer Ten
Not one, I would use two words, those are ‘High Concentration’. I have a unique ability to focus and concentrate highly on a particular task or duty that I am supposed to execute. This gives me two benefits, the first one is that I am able to produce high-quality assignments and the second one is my ability to complete the tasks in a time-bound manner. This is not my natural instinct, rather I have gathered and developed this ability in me, after meditating regularly for at least 20 minutes a day.

How would you describe yourself? When we walk into an interview, we’re trying to project the best possible version of ourselves. We want to appear confident, qualified, and ready to take on the job position. It’s difficult to keep up appearances in an interview, no matter how good you are in the interview itself. This is especially so when the hiring manager starts throwing curveball questions. One such question is “describe yourself in one word.”
It may seem simple enough to pick one positive word. The problem is, that question could be followed by a request to elaborate on your answer. And that could present a much more challenging answer.
When you think about it, it’s the ultimate elevator pitch request. And if you’re asked this question in a job interview. Then how can you break down everything you can bring to the table in just one single word? Or a series of words?
In this guide, we’re going to tackle why interviewers ask this question. And how to craft the best answer. And what answers to emulate and which to avoid.
Why Do Interviewers Ask “Describe Yourself?”
Hiring managers do this for the same reason they ask most questions in an interview. They want to know more about you to determine if you are a good fit for the company or position.
The hiring manager is trying to get to the essence of who you are as a person. And as a professional addition to their team. Or, at the very least, they want to confirm based on first impressions, which you think you may be. The relationship you have with yourself can have a tremendous impact on how you live and work. And this question is meant to put you on the spot to reveal your confidence or insecurity.
Pro tip: In a Job Outlook Survey performed by NACE in 2019. They mentioned that communication skills were amongst the highest hard skills desired by employers. Interview questions like «describe yourself in one word» challenge that ability.
This question is usually used as a setup question to probe deeper. Since many potential hires will use a grand word to describe themselves. But will then struggle to give an example of how that word is exemplified in professional day-to-day behavior. “Describe yourself in one word” also gives the hiring manager insight into how realistic the potential hire is being in their own self-reflective view. We’ll dip more into this in the next few sections.
What Are Hiring Managers Trying to Find Out by Asking “Describe Yourself?”
As we mentioned before, the hiring managers want to paint a picture of who you are. And who you think you are. And how well you can elaborate on a simple one-word answer. Or in a short introduction that uses key skills, keywords, and benefits for the company to describe yourself.
When it comes down to it, they are looking for specific answers in your initial short answer and a subsequent longer answer. And they are looking for honesty, humbleness, and accuracy as well.
For example, let’s say you are interviewing for a position in customer service. Your hiring manager asks you to describe yourself in one word. The word you choose is “friendly.” They ask you to elaborate on this. A negative answer would be one that doesn’t relate to a professional setting. And if you answer with something along the lines of “My friends all say I’m very friendly.” That says nothing about your friendliness in the workplace. However, a good answer would contain an example of an experience in which a customer told you that you were very friendly. And did a great job of taking care of their issue. This shows the interviewee that you have real-world professional examples to back up your claims.
It’s also worth noting that your hiring manager is also likely looking for inconsistencies. And if you came into the interview with an attitude. And then describe yourself as “friendly.” It could make you seem inconsistent, unaware of yourself, or plain dishonest.
How to Answer “Describe Yourself” Effectively
This question is usually used as a setup question to probe deeper. And since many potential hires will use a grand word to describe themselves. But will then struggle to give an example of how that word is exemplified in professional day-to-day behavior. “Describe yourself in one word” also gives the hiring manager insight into how realistic the potential hire is being in their own self-reflective view. We’ll dip more into this in the next few sections.
What interviewees should really do is think about the position and the company. And what qualities would be excellent for someone to be successful in that role. Then, choose one of those words that apply to you.
Describing yourself
When describing yourself, pick keywords that connect together and describe what can be offered to the business. An answer example would be the following.
«I’m a reliable, dependable, adaptable professional. Looking to utilize my skills as a sales professional to apply myself to a business looking to disrupt a major industry.»
Describing yourself in one word
Take the time to brainstorm some possibilities for good words to choose from. And make sure that you are prepared to follow up your answer with an explanation. Your hiring manager may or may not do this, but most of the time will do so.
When it comes down to it, the “one word” part is easy. The explanation is a whole other ballpark.
The safest answer to rely on would be a work ethic word. Answer with a work ethic word that best describes you as accurately as possible. And while also having a specific behavioral example from past professional experience or academic experiences. This is an excellent opportunity to tell a brief but relevant story. A story about when you went above what you were expected to do in your work or school life. It’s wonderful to take time while answering this question. And to show that you’re thinking about the answer. But this is definitely a question you want to think about in advance. Be prepared in advance for how to answer the question and explain your answer with examples or brief stories to back it up.
Describe Yourself Examples
Here are example answers for when a hiring manager asks you to describe yourself.
Using skills to describe yourself
«I’m an adaptable professional with previous sales experience. Looking to utilize my software engineering skills to assist marketing teams to increase leads. And subsequently, increase sales and growth.»
Utilizing keywords to describe yourself
«I’m a trustworthy and open-minded professional. This work environment is one that embraces innovation. And when I work with my colleagues, I want to encourage them to ask broad questions. And use quantitative research to address major problems. I aim to influence, encourage, and lead a meticulous team of engineers toward success.»

A lot of employers will ask you to describe yourself as one of the first questions in the job interview. As a former recruiter, I’m going to walk you through the best ways to answer, examples of how to describe yourself, and the common mistakes to avoid. Then we’ll also look at how to describe yourself in a more casual setting like a networking event or meetup.
Let’s get started…
How to Answer the Interview Question: “Describe Yourself”
1. Know & research your audience
The first step in how to describe yourself is to know your audience! You don’t want to describe yourself as a quiet person who prefers working alone if you’re interviewing at a highly-social company that emphasizes teamwork. At least not if you want to get hired!
Now, you don’t need to lie and say you’re the most outgoing, energetic person in the world, but you’d want to show a bit of both sides, so they at least know you can handle some basic teamwork. So prepare for your job interview by researching the company and figuring out what type of work environment they seem to have. If you don’t know how to research a company, this article will help you. I’d recommend checking out their website, Facebook page, YouTube, and maybe other social media such as LinkedIn. This will give you a sense of their overall company culture, which will help you do a better job of describing yourself in a way that’ll be attractive to THEM.
2. Describe traits that fit their job and team
When you describe yourself in the interview, you want to be honest and true to yourself. There’s no need to lie. However, you do want to think about which traits they’ll find most exciting or impressive. The key is to think about what they’ll view as most relevant. If the job requires a lot of multi-tasking (you’ll know from the job description most likely), you’ll want to describe yourself as someone who works well with a high number of tasks going on. If the job seems to be very fast-paced, you could talk about someone who is highly organized, works well under pressure, and has succeeded in fast-paced environments in the past. (FYI, here’s an entire article on answering, “what type of work environment do you prefer”). This is how to describe yourself while being honest but also making sure your interview answer will get them excited to hire you. I personally do NOT work well under pressure. But I’ve still said it in interviews because I knew they wanted to hear it. And the job didn’t end up being very high-pressure anyway. If you’re concerned that the job isn’t the right fit, don’t take the job. But your only goal in the interview is to sell yourself and get invited to the next round in the process, and this is how you do that.
3. Always pick positive traits
You never want to describe yourself as shy, unconfident, stressed, anxious, etc. When the interviewer asks you to describe yourself, you should always be naming positive traits and things that make you attractive to the employer.
This should be obvious, but I want to make sure you know to never mention negatives when answering this interview question.
4. Back up your claims with an example
The fourth and final step when answering, “how would you describe yourself?” is to give an example of how that trait has helped you in a real situation. We’ll look at many examples of how to describe yourself in the next section, but here’s the basic idea for now…
Imagine you say that you would describe yourself as someone who solves problems and loves thinking outside the box and taking initiative. You might conclude your answer by saying:
For example, in my last job, there was a software failure and more than 40% of our clients were reporting outages. I took the initiative to look at the software error logs and spotted the issue before my Manager had a chance to look. As soon as my Manager became available, I told him I had already found a solution. This saved our clients money and saved my Manager time.
It’s one thing to say, “I take initiative” or something like that, but it’s MUCH more powerful to give a real example of how you took initiative to help your past employer save money or make money. Now let’s look at some more sample responses:
Now that you know the four key steps to use when describing yourself in a job interview, let’s look at some sample short descriptions about yourself. Remember, research is the first step. Here’s why this is so crucial:
Imagine they ask, “How would you describe yourself?”… and because you did your research… you know that this particular job requires a lot of teamwork and collaboration. You know from the job posting that this is not a role where you sit quietly and work by yourself all day. So in your answer, you’d want to give a short description about yourself that shows you’re collaborative and that you enjoy working as part of a team. Then, you’d give an example of a real-life situation where you demonstrated this.
Hopefully that last piece sounds familiar – it was step #4 above. That’s how you stand out when answering “describe yourself” in your interview.
Here are two examples of how a full answer should sound:
How to Describe Yourself – Example Answer #1:
I would describe myself as someone who is highly motivated, and I particularly enjoy working as a part of a team. In my last job, I was part of a group of 12 people and we communicated multiple times per day to work as a unit, and I also interacted frequently with other groups like Sales, Customer Service, and more. I enjoy a fast-paced, team-oriented environment like this.
How to Describe Yourself – Example Answer #2:
I’d describe myself as being very resourceful and ambitious at the same time. I find solutions, get creative, and solve problems without needing the help of coworkers or managers. I know when to ask for help and I don’t stay quiet if I do need assistance. But when it is possible to handle something without occupying the time of others, I do it and I consider myself very good at it. It’s one of the things my last boss would say they liked most about me if you asked them to describe my style of work.
How to Describe Yourself With One Word
There’s another similar interview question you should be ready for: “If you only had one word to describe yourself, what would it be?”
Here is a list of one-word answers you can use to describe yourself:
- Ambitious
- Energetic
- Diligent
- Resourceful
- Cooperative
- Methodical
- Careful
- Detail-oriented
- Resilient
- Creative
- Positive
Choose whichever suits you best (and fits with the role you’re interviewing for), and just remember that you can repeat this same word in every interview. Then, whichever word you pick to describe yourself, prepare an example and a reason for why you chose it. Don’t just say one word and then stop talking. This is a question where they’ll want you to explain your answer.
Here’s a word-for-word example of how to describe yourself if they ask for one specific trait or word:
How to Describe Yourself – Example Answer #3:
The word I’d use to describe myself is ‘ambitious’. One of the reasons I’m looking for tech jobs right now is that I want to work on large, important projects and challenge myself. I like to seek out learning opportunities and I’m not afraid to fail and struggle as a part of learning. I feel the tech industry is the best place to do this right now, and I did some reading on your founder and thought the work culture here sounded like a great fit for my style.
It’s always great if you can end your answer by explaining why you applied for the position and showing them you did your research. Sure, it’s more than they asked, but it’ll impress them. So keep this in mind in your next interview. The interviewer or hiring manager may also ask, “What are three words you’d use to describe yourself?” So you can adapt the sample answers above but include three positive words to describe yourself, and you’ll have an answer that sounds like this:
How to Describe Yourself in Three Words – Sample Answer
Three words I’d use to describe myself are hard-working, creative, and I’m also a people person. In my previous job, team members often said that my presence boosted team morale, and they also appreciated my ability to come up with new ideas to solve complex problems, so that’s why I chose those three descriptive words above.
Note that you’re technically using more than three words to describe yourself above. That’s fine. You can use short phrases like “people person” as one word. You’ll still give a positive impression. It’s okay to use positive adjectives that are two to three words as long as it’s one trait.
Mistakes to Avoid When Answering, “How Would You Describe Yourself?”
The first mistake to avoid is: Don’t ramble on or be too long-winded in your answer and don’t share your entire life story. Try to keep your answer to around 60-90 seconds. If they ask for one single word to describe yourself, you may want to keep it even shorter than that. And stay focused on telling a clear, concise story when you describe yourself. Don’t get sidetracked or go off in many different directions with your story.
I’d recommend keeping this simple structure that we talked about above:
- How you’d describe yourself and why
- An example of you using this to help a past employer or succeed in a past project
Otherwise, you might fall into a common trap that exists for this question, and also questions like “tell me about yourself“. The trap is: They’re trying to see if you can tell a clear story without getting sidetracked and distracted. If you ramble on for too long, they’ll take it as a sign you can’t keep a clear train of thought and are difficult to communicate with. And that can cost you the job even if they like the actual word(s) you chose to describe yourself.
If you’re not sure whether your answer is getting too long, you can stop and ask for feedback! Just give your best shot at an answer, and then say, “does that answer your question, or did you want more info?” That way, you’re not stopping before they’re satisfied, but you’re not talking for an extra two minutes after you’ve answered their question, either. (Talking for too long after each answer will frustrate the interviewer FAST and is a common mistake that can cause people to fail interviews).
Overall, if you follow the tips above you should pass this question easily and move on to the rest of the interview.
FYI, you should also read this article on how to answer, “tell me about yourself” because it’s another common question that employers ask.
How to Describe Yourself in Networking Opportunities and Events
We’ve covered how to answer “describe yourself” in job interviews, but what about networking events? Describing yourself in a non-interview environment is a bit different. To start, you should read this article on how to develop a great elevator pitch. Part of it is about job interviews, but it also includes scripts for networking and more. When you’re describing yourself in a meetup or networking event, the steps we looked at to begin this article are still good steps to follow. You should try to research the people you’re meeting, or at least think about your audience before answering. (Even if you just met them – think about what type of background they have, what might interest them, etc.) Then when you describe yourself, talk about the pieces of your background that they’ll be able to relate to, or that they’ll find relevant. This is how to capture someone’s attention when first speaking with them. Then you might find some common ground or common interests, and you’ll both enjoy the conversation a lot more.
If you follow the four basic steps at the beginning of this article, you’ll be able to describe yourself confidently to anyone you meet in a professional setting, whether it’s a job interview or not.

«How would you describe yourself» is one of the most common questions asked in a job interview. You’re pressed to come up with unique and suitable words to describe yourself and paint yourself in the best light in a matter of seconds.
What is the best way to describe yourself as a job applicant?
The best way to describe yourself during a job interview is the way that give concrete examples of what you have done in the last roles or bring your accomplishments to the table. The words you use to describe yourself needs to allow you to show your personal traits and thus sets you apart from other candidates.
Actually, before you are interviewed for a job, you likely have already worked on how to describe yourself. When you write your resume, you carefully select words on it to describe yourself to attract the HR’s attention.
Describing yourself, or self-introduction, is never an easy task. To do it well when you’re applying for a job, whether it is to describe yourself to the interviewer or to come up with the best words to describe yourself on a resume, is even harder. You may accidentally choose adjectives or phrases that are not positive or professional or talk too much when you’re asked to describe yourself in just a few words.
But, worry no more — we’ve got you covered.
How to Choose the Best Words to Describe Yourself
💡 #1: Know your audience.
To determine what words to use to describe yourself, whether on a resume or during a social gathering, consider where you’re are and who you’re talking with. Are you describing yourself to get a job or are you introducing yourself on your socials? Each scenario features a specific audience and therefore different words should be used while you describe yourself.
To describe yourself on resumes or in cover letters, pick descriptive words that emphasize your skills and achievement.
How about describing yourself in a job interview? You might be asked to tell the interviewer about yourself. Or, sometimes, you might be asked to describe yourself in a word, three words or five words. In an interview, you are allowed to elaborate on your answers.
First, pay attention to the question and answer exactly what is asked. Before you start speaking, think of what is the most desired skill or trait for this role. Pick a word or start a short sentence that showcases that you have that skill.
Lastly, if you’re writing a professional bio on your social media to attract recruiters. The words you choose can be more casual but still best define yourself and the career path you’re taking. Tailor the words in the description about yourself to demonstrate professionalism and abilities by thinking about the general skills and personal traits that are deemed necessary for your career.
💡 #2: Know how you want to present yourself.
Next, once you have a clear audience in mind, decide how you’d like yourself to appear to them and attract them effectively.
For example, if you are being interviewed for an engineering role for which debugging is important, you can choose words that put emphasis on your analytical or problem-solving skills to describe yourself. Then provide a real-life example to elaborate.
Or, if you want to demonstrate your leadership skills effectually in a job interview. Thus, you can choose words to describe yourself like, encouraging, mentoring, and strategic thinking, to directly answer the describe yourself question.
If you expect the audience to be impressed by your communication skills, give them an answer that contains such adjectives as: confident, approachable, and persuasive.
To present yourself as a creative thinker, try to include these phrases in your answer for describing yourself:
- Open-minded to other people’s ideas
- Keep eyes on the latest industry trends
- See things from diverse perspectives
💡 #3: Beware that different words can give off various impressions.
Be careful when choosing adjectives to describe yourself because many words can have the same meaning but create different impressions. For example, “ambitious” and “aggressive” can both be used to describe someone who wants to achieve a lot. But the word “aggressive” can sometimes give off a wrong impression in certain situations.
Thus, it’s particularly important to focus more on the impression that the word creates, not just the meaning. Also, if possible, do research on the company you’re applying to or interviewing at to know their company culture and decide what words are safe to use when you describe yourself—-either on a resume or in an interview.

“Describe Yourself” – Example for Resumes
While writing your resume, carefully choose words to describe yourself. The words used on a resume to describe you should be effective and shouldn’t take up much space as the space on a resume is limited and the recruiter generally doesn’t linger too long on a single resume.
Simple adjectives would suffice. The other best words you can describe yourself on a resume are actually statistics. Numbers speak volumes, and they can help the recruiter measure your ability and accomplishment.
Although the whole resume is technically a document that describe you professionally, there are sections that where you can fit in one or two words that help you stand out among a group of candidates. These sections are:
- Resume profile
- Resume summary or objective
- Work experience
- Skills
A resume profile is a short bio. You can describe yourself with words that demonstrate the most wanted personal traits in your resume profile, for example, analytical data analyst or passionate leadership.
The Resume summary, or objective, presents you professionally in a couple of sentences, in which a few descriptive words can give the recruiter a clear picture of your ability and accomplishments. You can, for instance, include words like «proven track record» in it and explain the level and scope of your professional achievement.
The work experience is an excellent place to squeeze words to describe yourself to make your resume more appealing as you can detail your work achievement with sentences in it. For example, while describing your success, you can add words like «undertake thorough reviews» or «wisely manage».
In the skills section on your resume, words to describe yourself should allow the recruiter to measure your skills. Simply listing down various skills can be insignificant if you don’t describe how well you perform the skill. In this case, words like «advanced programming» can be helpful.
“Describe Yourself” – Sample Answers for a Job Interview
If you’re going to have a job interview, be prepared for self-introduction and personal trait questions. Below are the 4 sample answers for the describe yourself question that will help you nail your job interview.
Q1: Describe yourself in one word.
Answer: I would say I’m a great team player. I feel very comfortable working with people and always bring positive energy to the team. I also understand the dynamics of working in a group well to ensure productivity. As a digital marketing specialist, I frequently collaborate with people on both cross-team and inter-team projects. I believe that I have always been able to perform well and connect with every person in my team.
💭 Tip: When asked to define yourself in one word, you shouldn’t just say that word without giving reasons. Instead, make sure you demonstrate that characteristic through a clear explanation or specific examples.
Q2: What are three words that describe you?
Answer: The first word I would use to describe myself is curious. I love exploring the world out there and researching new things, especially technology. That’s why I decide to pursue a career in IT. I’m also quite flexible. I can multitask with ease and go with the flow even when a situation is out of my control. Lastly, I am very determined and don’t give up easily.
💭 Tip: Keep in mind not to describe yourself in 3 words that contradict each other. For instance, it doesn’t make sense if you define yourself as an introvert and an extrovert. What’s more, choose three attributes that are most suitable for the job you’re applying for.

Q3: How would you describe yourself?
Answer: I would describe myself as a persistent person. I don’t give up easily when I am faced with challenges. Quite the contrary, I love challenges as I see them as puzzles and solving puzzles is what I am passionate about.
