Q5: What would your current manager say are your strengths?
|
We often find it hard to tell people
what we’re good at.
Selling yourself, without appearing arrogant, is
one of the most common interview worries. Many people
simply don’t sell themselves, for fear of
seeming big-headed.
Do you know what your strengths are? You’d
be surprised how few do.
One place to start is your recent performance appraisals.
What did they highlight as your strengths? Can you
supply evidence (provide examples)? Can you relate
the strengths to the position you’re being
interviewed for?
Still stuck for answers to this question?
- You could try asking someone. Ask a trusted
friend or work colleague. Make sure they give
you examples of where you have demonstrated
the strengths, so you can quickly use these,
if asked.
- It’s also worth revisiting the job information,
to look for which competencies they are looking
for. You will make a more favourable impression
if you can cover some of these in your answer.
