面试中需要陈述的个人性格特征需与应聘的工作相关。
Personal characteristics are things that you have that would be related¹ to the job, things such as being able to get a job done on time, being able to focus and concentrate your attention on the job.

You might say, for example, that you have good attention to detail-you can look at all the little things in an issue or a project and make sure that you are taking care of them.

That would be a personal characteristic, and then you could give an example of why that was important in a job that you've already done.

You may say, "I had a project where I had many different parts that I had to take care of, and I was able to do them all."

That way, you're showing the person-you're telling the interviewer how your personal characteristics will be able to help you do your job better.

An interview, in general, particularly for US businesses, is sort of like an opportunity to sell yourself.

You have to be able to show to the person that you are the best man or woman for the job.

To summarize² then: In answering the question, "Tell me about yourself," you want to keep the answer short, two to three minutes.

You want to focus on work-related skills and accomplishments³, not your personal information.

You want to tell the interviewer why you think your work-related skills and accomplishments would be a positive thing for the company.
