Sir, as of now, I haven’t thought much about it. I am more focused on learning the requirements for the position I applied for over here.

Que. How would you rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10?

Ans. I would give myself a 7 out of 10 because I now always like to think that to put in more effort, we should leave the space we have to judge ourselves. And this idea will create interest in us to learn things. And Sir, thank you so much for giving me this wonderful opportunity.

I may answer this question based on some criteria. As far as hard work is concerned, I would give myself number 8, because there should always be scope to enhance our skills so that our interest in learning things always arises.

When it comes to creativity, I would like to give myself the number 9. In the past, I have designed many banners and brochures, which were highly appreciated by customers.

If I were to talk about patience, I would give myself number 7, as I am an entry-level professional. And just like in personal life, more patience in professional life also requires more experience.
