What are your strengths?To answer this question – analyse the requirements of the position you have applied for and make a list of the qualities a person working in that profile should have. Pick up the qualities you have out of them and offer them as an answer. For e.g. some of the qualities people applying for jobs in call centres are: Patience, fluency in English, good hearing skills, problem solving etc.
This is quite an expected question so you must go prepared with an answer for this question well in advance.What are your weaknesses?You must understand that it is perfectly normal for any human being to have some weaknesses. What is more important is to identify them and work on them.
So, if you are asked this question in the interview – stay calm and admit that you have weaknesses. There are two ways for you to answer this question now.
a.) Offer a totally un-related weakness. For e.g. “Inspite of using the camera for so many years, I still can’t make out if anything wrong goes with it.”
b.) Offer one of your strengths as a weakness. For e.g. “My friends accuse me of being to picky about the grammar and the words in English but I think it is important to speak a language properly”. If you have applied for a position with a call centre, they would immediately buy this.
