Okay, so you nailed your application and got invited to the interview.
Great job!
After doing a quick internet search on preparing responses for an interview, you realize one of the most common questions asked is "What are your strengths? "
So...where do you begin?
Brainstorm
Write down at least 10 strengths you have that relate to the position you are interviewing for.
This could be for a job, school, volunteer work, etc.
Don't be humble! Now is your time to shine!
Quiz
Angie has always wanted to be a librarian, and she has an interview for her dream job. What strength should Angie discuss?
Narrow Down Your List
Narrow your list down to your top 3 strengths that you feel comfortable discussing.
In most scenarios, you won't be asked to name all your strengths, but having 3 allows you to be prepared under pressure.
