This is a very common question you can prepare ahead of time to reduce any nerves you may have before an interview.

And, just to be clear, strengths are: business skills you have…that you’re pretty good at…as determined by you. That’s it.

Have 3 different skills ready to go along with an example for each to really help illustrate why each skill is a strength and how you’ve been able to use it in your past experience.

Also, make sure each skill you choose is RELEVANT for the role you are interviewing for so the interviewer can easily make the connection between your past experience and the current job opening.

Being able to complete a task on time /ahead of schedule as instructed.

Ability to work with others and communicate, share ideas as well trouble shooting and problem solving of issues as they may arise .

This is a very common question as I remember during interviews I try to think out of the box.

  1. I can set boundaries without making someone uncomfortable. I also monitor my tone and and able to clearly and precisely.

  2. I won't answer a question unless I 100 percent know what's right and what's wrong we both learn thaT way. The person asking and whoever gave the answer we all learn together so it's a team effort.

  3. Once I start a project I make sure it's finished and in marketing I work until I feel fulfilled with what I was asked.

  4. I know when it's time to rest
