Many times in interviews, we are bombarded with many different and often difficult questions. But there are a few questions that seem to be prevalent in most exchanges. Most interviewers tend to ask about your greatest strengths in some kind of form, so here are a few questions to help you get prepared for your next interview.
Are you prepared and ready to give a high quality answer?
Make sure your answer isn’t wordy and beat around the bush. Try not to listen a string of random adjectives because it has the opposite effect of what you are trying to convey. Choose a solid three attributes about yourself and speak genuinely about them. Think about the job you are trying to earn and what qualities are important in order to do well in your position.
What’s your greatest strengths story?
Make sure to back up every single claim with a story. You don’t want to just to simply throw out random words that could describe you without giving some evidence. It’s a good idea to talk about your past experiences at this time. This is also a great opportunity to talk about an obstacle and how you found a solution.
When it comes to your greatest strengths – will you cover all the bases?
You don’t want to leave the interviewer hanging at any point. The strength question give you a great opportunity to talk about almost anything you want that highlights your abilities and skills that will contribute to the workforce. It’s also a good idea to make sure to take this time to think back on the interviewer and fill holes and include anything you forgot to mention. You must also remember to include the company in your answers so that you can articulate why you would be a great asset in their working community.
The greatest strengths question (or questions) in an interview are a good chance to talk about you. This is a great chance to show that you would be a good contributor and that you would benefit the company with the strengths that you have to offer.
