In brief: ÐBefore diving into this issue again, I would like to point out that many experienced interviewers will

try to avoid these questions, because questions about strength and weaknesses immediately keep a person on the

defensive and takes the interview into a negative atmosphere. However, if the interviewer does ask you about

your strengths and weaknesses, you may need to have some intelligent answers that will not seem boastful or

phony.Ñ

To be on the safer side, for your job interview preparations -

this article provides examples on how to answer the question Ðwhat are your weaknesses and strengths?Ñ.

This is the third article of the weaknesses and strengths question series.

Learning agility and effective personal communication skills

Most researches show that the single best predictor for who will perform well and succeed in a new is the one

who possesses learning agility(a quick learner) and the one who can adjust himself/herself to changes and new

situations, such as a new workplace.

Also, effective interpersonal communication skill is one of the best personal traits.

Past performance or even experience, skills and intelligence are not as important as learning agility and

communications skills. HR and

job

recruiters

are aware to these factsÈ

Self Motivated and Determined

To achieve success, one needs to be self motivated and determined to succeed. Without self motivation, it is

quite possible that even the best of employees will languish in the company without achieving any success.

Success Oriented and Natural Leader

All companies search for an individual who has the drive within himself or herself. Frankly, the company would

not have time to actually sit back and look out which of their employees has that next big idea, or which of the

employees is not working according to their talents and resources. Therefore, it is best that a company have a

self appointed mentor who keeps these things in mind and speaks about them at the appropriate time.

This characteristic is necessary for team leaders, supervisors, executive managers and

project managers

Team Player

No man is an island. And in todayÓs world, like never before, a person requires a group of people with whom to

succeed. Therefore, being a team player in todayÓs world is almost as important as any academic degree.

Hardworking

This is one of the most common traits found in a successful boss as well as a successful employee. It is said that

success is ninety percent hard and ten percent thinking/brain activity. Any company would like to have a

hard working employee. Therefore, you can speak about hard-work, dedication and commitment as your

strengths.

Intelligence and Self Confidence

Being intelligent does not mean being the only person in the room who can drive a plane, but a person who has

the simple logic and practical knowledge that goes with running a proper team.

Job Interview: What Are Your Weaknesses Î Examples & List of

Weaknesses

Several interviewers will also ask whether you have any weaknesses. When it comes to weaknesses, make sure

that you describe the weaknesses that are ambiguous enough to be converted into strengths.

Here are some of the weaknesses that are generally discussed.

Getting Nervous around people

Today, with the advent of the new work culture where a person seldom meets another and where the only time

people speak to each other is during coffee breaks, there are some people who have become introverts. This

causes some people to become nervous about giving presentations and speeches.

Being a Debater

Some individuals are too passionate about work and require a reason for any change that is introduced in the

company. Though this is good for the project and the product, it might rub some people the wrong way.

Going out of oneÓs Way

There are several people in organizations all over the world who take all kinds of work from their colleagues,

whether it is their work or not. While these people are an asset to the company, they may create antagonism.

Lack of some skills

No person has all the requisite skills for the job profile. This is one of the greatest disadvantages that one has,

because once a person starts earning, they find it difficult to go back to their learning ways.

Remember that these are just concepts and you should back up each of these strengths and weaknesses with an

example.

Some other strengths & weaknesses (per job title) to consider:

Here is an additional strengths and weaknesses list -

Strengths Î

Leaders and managers: Ability to prioritize, planning skills, well organized, multitasking and assuming

responsibilities and duties. Possessing the capacity to cope with failures and trying to learn from past mistakes.

Customer care, Call center and sales: Communication skills, patience, having good interpersonal skills.

Programmers and R&D: A quick learner who enjoys learning new things. A team player who shares

knowledge and ideas with colleagues.

Weakness Î

Sensitive person: Taking things to heart and getting too disappointed when things are done in the wrong way.

Too helpful: Crossing limits while helping teammates.

Summary

An interview is the short span of time spent with each other, in which a person has to decide whether the

employee is perfect for the job or not. To establish this, the interviewer asks several questions.

Some of the questions are quite simple and can be answered immediately, while some are not as simple and

require some thought before the answer is given. One good example of this is the question regarding strengths

and weaknesses.
