How to Say ‘I'm very hardworking, and also very punctual.’ in Traditional Chinese

我很認真,也很準時。

wǒ hěn rèn zhēn yě hěn zhǔn shí

[wo hen rènzhēn yeh hen zhǔnshí]

💬 Usage Tip: Use 也 "also" to add a second quality, and put it right before the describing word. For example: 我很認真,也很友善 "I'm conscientious and also friendly".

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Modest, practical qualities like diligence and punctuality go down well in Taiwanese interviews. Bold self-promotion can come across as arrogant.
