Now let me explain how to answer this question.
The first part is a bit easy and most of us mange to answer it in a good way but not in the best way. What we usually say is that I am hardworking, enthusiastic, devoted, a good leader, confident e.t.c.
Some of us take it to the next level by giving examples of our hard work or devotion but almost none of us tells the recruiter about the source of these strengths.
According to my opinion the best way to tell about your

CV Writing for fresh graduates and students

And the most interesting thing about this art is that the CV would approach perfection if and only if a person writes his/her own CV rather than refilling a template, or customizing a friend's CV or requesting someone else to write a CV for you. The reason behind this is the fact that no one else knows you better than yourself and hence when it comes towards creating a "Marketing Document" that would sell your skills than I would recommend you to do it yourself.
