If you had only one word to describe yourself for a potential Employer, what would it be?

COL Mikel J. Burroughs — Tue, 28 Jun 2016 17:40:02 -0400

This was an old post here on RallyPoint, but it's still a great question today RP Members. Let's give it another shot for the new Connections out there!

If you were ask this question during an interview what would your answer be?

Let's get some real participation here for those active service members getting ready to transition, so they have this in their tool kit. This is just one of the top interview questions potential Employers could ask you.

Let's see what we can get from all the RallyPoint Membgers on this one!

What is that one key word that will make you stand out above the rest of the competition?

Think about it - this is a big question!

Loyal.
But then again, I don't have to care about a job anymore. I liked loyal because it gave the employer more to work with regardless of skill level. Loyal people tend to stay on task and keep an eye out for the health of the organization. Dedication doesn't come up to the same level as loyal. An absence of loyalty is likely the hardest thing to fix because so many things that beget it are intangible.

Teachable, it demonstrates that u am not limited by my military experience but that I can adapt during my transition period and a new job. While it could lead to the connotation that I require someone to teach me to learn with a decent follow up it shows the capability and dedication to continued learning, both formal and informal

Resilient

: able to become strong, healthy, or successful again after something bad happens

: able to return to an original shape after being pulled, stretched, pressed, bent, etc.

Every word used on here has been great, and this word may not be popular to most because they may feel it does not provide any tangible characteristics for an employer.

However, when talking about a leader, if that leader has no resilience, then he will eventually lose his ability to lead.

If you have a driven person, and they are not resilient, they can easily lose their drive.

Teachable people without resilience may become sour after failure and quit trying.

A person with resilience, however, will look at a set back as an opportunity to excel, and a failure as a second opportunity to succeed.

All of the words provided, however, are great, but give me to words to provide and resilient will be the first every time.

Just my opinion, and I love this question.

- I went through a medical board. I was persistent. 27 month later I got to stay in the Army.
- It is hard to do Graduate school, work full time, family, volunteer work and so on. But I am persistent. I graduated this month.
- I can't run because my back is broken. I can walk and swim. When I swim 3 miles (100 laps) I do it one at a time because I am persistent.

I think this answer would depend on the type of job it is AND the type of questions that they have asked during the interview... If they are focused on your reliability - they've had issues in that area - SO "reliable". If they are looking for someone that is a creative thinker, then maybe "creative". You can always tell by the job description, the conversation in the interview and NO this would not be the first question they ask. I've be part of the interview process many times. SO - - - my answer would be it depends because I have many qualities and if I want to position bad enough I will try and tell them what they want to hear!

I’m better then a pocket on a shirt. All that reduced to one word. “HIM” just have your people get in touch with my people and I’ll get back to you if I’m decide you are someone that I would work for.

I'm on a disability from police and fire. I was lucky wounded warrior project needed veterans or I'd still be unemployed. One word I'd have to pick would be "anything"! I'm not afraid to do anything or work any hours!

Most of the time I would probably say... Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All I Do, but then after they get that confused look ....I would probably say Steadfast!

Committed.
I hire and fire, and what I look for is commitment, to family, learning and to excellence.
Family and one's faith come first, but not always. We honor our employees commitment to family, and work with them to resolve issues and challenges so that they can remain focused at work. We look for people committed to learning, getting better, setting goals, even if they include leaving the company someday. With mutual respect for the mission of the company and the mission of the individual to excel, you have a good chance of working with a lot of go-getters! The commitment to excellence is paramount. This means doing one's best every day. It means realizing one is a part of a whole and we are only as good or as strong as our weakest link. Excellence means achievement and a never-quit attitude. Cream rises to the top, and your best performers are committed to being the best at what they do! Hooah!

Excellent question, Col.!!! Thank you & Shared to FB ! HOOORRAH !!!!
My attitude & Drive, set me apart! My attitude is defined by these verses - Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Luke 18:27
“And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
Proverbs 3:5-10 (KJV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
I am not a self-starter but I am self-driven - Colossians 3:23-24 - KJV
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
I NEVER stop, NEVER give-in & NEVER quit following the Lord's example !
Hebrews 12:2 (KJV)
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
