16. Be Ready to Discuss Your Strengths and Weaknesses
Discussing your strengths and weaknesses is a common question during job interviews and requires preparation. When talking about your strengths, it’s important to highlight your relevant skills and experiences and provide examples of how you have used them to succeed in the past.
Discussing your weaknesses can be challenging, but it’s essential, to be honest, and show that you are working to improve. Avoid vague answers and discuss a specific area where you have struggled and what you are doing to overcome it.
Frame your weaknesses positively by highlighting what you are doing to improve. For example, if you need help with public speaking, mention that you are taking a course to improve your skills. This shows that you are proactive and willing to learn. In addition, by preparing to discuss your strengths and weaknesses, you can demonstrate your value to the company and show your commitment to personal growth and development.
