Interviewing & Job Hunting Questions

How do I answer the boring, same old questions- What are your strengths and weaknesses?

There is really no right or wrong way to answer this question. Be honest and focus on what matters in this interview. The end result that you want it to be able to secure the position. Keep this in perspective and read the following answer. It may provide a little insight.


"I'd be glad to help you assess my value in regard to this job. Let's lay out a clear idea of what specific kinds of work this job involves, and I'll do my best to show you how I'd do it. I think that will help you get a better idea of how I can be most valuable to you, and where I might need a good manager's guidance.


Just so you understand my professional ethics: I don't believe in pretending I know something when I don't. But I'm very good at learning quickly and making that learning pay off for my employer.


Now, here's what seems to be the challenge of this job and how I'd handle it. You need to show your strengths in regard to the specific work involved, and to discuss where you might need to learn more/new skills and how you'd apply them profitably.


This requires a discussion, not that you "list" your "strengths and weaknesses". It also requires a lot of hard, honest thinking on your part.
