First adjective that i have for you is diligent.
And this is a great adjective because it really shows that you care
about your work, your duties, the things that you have to do, and that you are also a hard worker as well.

Next is motivated.
It shows that you are determined to do something.

Another adjective that you could use instead of motivated, which is interchangeable, is driven.

Now, if we want to talk about our ability to work with others, we could use collaborative.

So for example we could use it and talk about a collaborative effort.
Or maybe we'll have a collaborative meeting.
And of course we'd all want to work in a collaborative work environment.
One of my favorite adjectives because this describes me is punctual.
And punctual means arriving at the expected or correct time.
So if there's a meeting, it's important to be punctual so that you are always there on time and people aren't waiting on you.
Or maybe you have a deadline that you have to meet. You could say that you are always punctual and you finish things on time.

They should be detail-oriented.

One of my favorite adjectives: personable.
And this is just talking about somebody's manner, their appearance,
somebody who is easy to approach and easy to talk to.
They're very personable.

and come up with original ideas to solve a variety of problems.

Another great adjective, especially in a job interview, is experienced.
And if you are experienced that means that you have a lot of knowledge and information about something.
Perhaps you've worked in the industry for a long time.
Maybe you have family history in this business, or you just grew up practicing this skill or ability.
You are someone who is experienced.
Next is methodical.

And you're basically putting a lot of thought into every step that you're taking.
You are being methodical.
Another great adjective, which I think is very very very common, is responsible.
And this just means that you have to answer for something that you have control over.
You are responsible for something.
So you can think: how are you responsible?
What is something you have control over and you have to answer for that?
You have to make sure that it gets done, and that everything is right.

Another very common adjective is reliable.
And this just means that you can be trusted to get the job done.
They can count on you because you are reliable.
and businesses - they are always looking for reliable people.
Next is insightful.
And if somebody is insightful that just means they're showing a deep understanding of something,
and because they have a deep understanding of it, they can really express their their thoughts and opinions really well;
and give insight because they're insightful.
Now if you want to use an adjective to describe your speaking ability, you could say that you are articulate.
And this just means that you can speak intelligently, and you are good at expressing yourself,
easy to understand, and you can explain things very well.
You are articulate.
And it's very important to be articulate during presentations, in meetings, and job interviews.
Another one of my favorite adjectives is resourceful.
And if somebody is resourceful that just means that they are skilled at making Decisions and working on their own,
and that they can easily overcome any problems that they may encounter - because they're resourceful.
Finally, we have proactive.
And this is a great adjective because it's talking about somebody who takes action to control a situation,
instead of just reacting to it.
So if somebody's proactive, they go ahead and they make a decision,
and they take control of the situation in order to solve the problem.
So now, let's practice using some of these adjectives, and we're going to pretend like we're in a job interview.
So, I'm going to ask you a question, and I want you to answer using some of these adjectives.
And I want you to try and speak.
So you can pause the video as you give your answer.
My question for you is simple:
How would you describe yourself?
Now, if you were a little too shy to speak, that's okay.
I want you also to write it in the comments below.
Practice using these adjectives and tell me:
Why are you resourceful? Why are you proactive?
Why are you responsible?
This is great practice for the next time you are in a job interview,
or even if you're just describing yourself to somebody else.
I hope that you learned some new adjectives today,
and you'll be a little better prepared the next time that you go in for your job interview.
