What is your greatest strength?

For this you will need to properly understand the job profile and keep your answer ready. For example, if the job needs you to have convincing answers ready for the any type customer’s questions, you can sell “your presence of mind” or if you are required to change you sector or industry you can offer “your adaptability” as an answer. It is important to keep ready at least 2 examples of the mentioned strength.

Avoid answering this question by bragging about yourself. Try and mention strengths related to work. Avoid native answers like “My hard work is my greatest strength”, or “my weakness becomes my strength”. Ideal answers could be “I can adapt to any situation and work atmosphere”, “I’m very flexible”.

What's your greatest strength?



Praising and bragging about your own feather is what people abhor to listen. Here you are being given chance to speak positive about you. Please don’t get carried away with such opportunity. Just have profile in mind and point out some strength.

You can ideally say that you can adapt to the circumstance and can work in tandem with fellow worker.
