How would you describe yourself? What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses?
The job interview is a two way street. Employers want to hire someone who will fit into their team and contribute positively. They also want to ensure they get the best candidate for the position. This means they ask questions during the interview to gauge whether or not you are the right person for the job.
You should prepare answers to these questions ahead of time. If you don’t know the answer, then you should say so. Don’t lie, but don’t tell them something that isn’t true either. The worst thing you can do is come across as dishonest.
You should be prepared with an answer to every question asked by the interviewer. It doesn’t matter if it is a simple “yes” or “no” question. Always have a good reason why you answered what you did.
If you are asked about your strengths and weaknesses, try to focus on your positive qualities. For example, if you are asked about your weaknesses, you might respond saying that you are a perfectionist. However, instead of focusing on this negative trait, you could highlight how you work hard at everything you do.
It is important to remember that there is no need to exaggerate your strengths and downplay your weaknesses. You only need to give honest responses to each question.
