Be sincere and authentic when describing yourself in a job interview. Practice your response but make sure it comes naturally and not sound rehearsed. 

In just about every sales interview, the interviewer asks the question, "How would you describe yourself?" While this is something that should be anticipated and practiced, many job seekers overlook the importance of this question and fail to take the time to formulate the right answers.

Moreover,​ when describing ourselves, we should approach our answers in an honest, candid manner and even though some answers are laid out below, always ensure that you phrase these in our own words as authenticity is important.

Here are 15 ways to describe yourself for your next sales interview:
