What are your strengths?
The following adjectives are commonly used in interviews.
Can you explain them to your partner?
Describe yourself using three of these adjectives and give an example of a time
when you demonstrated these in a work environment.
E.g. I’m extremely flexible – In my previous employment, I enjoyed working on
various different projects and had no problems travelling to meet clients at short
notice or working late when needed to complete a project.
Which of these is the best answer for the following interview question:
What is your biggest weakness?
A) I’m a perfectionist. I need to be 100% satisfied before I move on to a new task.
B) I care too much about my work. I always bring my work home with me.
C) I used to suffer from stress but I’ve found an effective way to manage that now
by going to the gym and working out. It’s really helped me manage my projects
better.
D) I prefer to work on tasks myself instead of delegating. That way, I’m aware of
the quality of the work.
