How to translate "a detail-oriented person"?


If you go to a job interview and say, "I am a detail-oriented person", it
doesn't come off as a negative trait. But I feel when someone says
`私は細かい事を気にする人です`, it has some negative connotation to it. Is there a way to
say "a detail-oriented person" in Japanese that doesn't come off as a negative
trait?




You can modify the "気にする人" part and say like this:

> 私は細かい事によく気がつく人だと思います。

Now this sounds positive and suitable for presenting yourself.

And you can use a more neutral word
[几帳面【きちょうめん】](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/leaf/jn2/52781/m0u/) (na-adjective):

> 私は几帳面な性格なので、細かい書類の管理や事務作業は得意です。
