Hi,
I have got some words I want to use when describing myself. What do you think about them? Are they good? Or I should use some other words and phrases?
Are you looking for words for a resume or application of some sort? You may want to consider adding "dependable" to the list. One other quick note: when making a list, I think many might agree it looks better if you leave a space between the number and the bullet point.
1) blahblah
2) yadda yadda
Good luck with whatever you're compiling this list for!
Are you really describing yourself? Or are you just trying to sell yourself?
I am trying to sell myself. It's a common thing to see some kind of "personal qualifications" field in russian resumes where you have to list your best features.

Well, I am actually interested in the right way of using this words. Maybe I do some minor mistake putting the words that are not often used when decribing a man in resume.

In that case I'd use short examples (from previous job experiences and such) that exhibit the trait instead of just listing words to describe yourself. But that probably would make your resume resemble a novel instead of a concise resume.

I think that is a good idea. That is how we were tought in school to write our resumes- sell yourself by putting yourself in a "context", preferably refering to previous job experince.
Oops, I think the words are good, but like Tricky D said, try to put them into sentences. It is easier to "understand" someone by reading sentences than by reading words. Plus it stands out more. Good luck
Be sure you have clear examples of how those words describe you before you sit down for an interview. We've tied up more than a few applicants by asking them to tell us how they are "result-oriented".
Also, keep in mind that those particular words are so overused on resumes that they won't have any power with the person looking at it. I agree with those that say to use them in context rather than letting them hang out there by themselves. That list isn't going to give an interviewer any reason to call you, since everyone else also has a resume with those words on it.

It's a resume, of course.
