There is no right or wrong answer for this question. Most
important thing you should remember is how you deliver the
message. The example above shows a short answer telling a little

2. What are your strengths?
This is a popular interview question. They want to know what you
think of yourself. Although this is a general question, there is a
wrong and right answer. The wrong answer is a generic answer
saying you are organized and friendly. Although it will not hurt
you during the interview, it will certainly not help you either.
Answer this question based on the type of job you are applying for.
Short Answers:
I believe my strongest trait is my attention to detail. This trait has
helped me tremendously in this field of work.
I’ve always been a great team player. I’m good at keeping a team
together and producing quality work in a team environment.
After having worked for a couple of years, I realized my strength
is accomplishing a large amount of work within a short period of
time. I get things done on time and my manager always
appreciated it.
My strongest trait is in customer service. I listen and pay close
attention to my customer’s needs and I make sure they are more
than satisfied.
Long Answers:
Let’s say I am interviewing for a management position. You
should mention traits that are important for managers.
A couple strengths I have are planning and execution, and
working with people. I’ve always been very good at planning and
detailing all the steps. Even in college, I would spend time
organizing my week and planning a strategy to tackle each class or
assignment. Executing a plan has always come easy for me as well.
I believe it’s due to proper planning. I also work with people very
well in a way where I use the strengths of each individual in a team
to produce the best results. Because of my easy going personality,
I’ve been told by my directs that it’s easy to approach me.
If you are applying for an accounting position, you should mention
strong traits an accountant should have and claim them to be yours.
I’m very detail oriented, good at managing time, and very honest.
I always incorporate managing time and being detailed together.
By nature I’ve been detail oriented, and that resulted in taking too
much time on a particular task. After incorporating time
management into the mix, I found that my work and efficiency
increased dramatically. I plan better and produce higher quality
work in a time constraint environment. Finally, I’m a very honest
person. When I was working as a valet attendant during college, a
lady gave me a twenty dollar bill to pay for the three dollar fee.
She almost drove off the lot, but I stopped her and said here is your
change. My co-workers said I should have considered the change
as tip, but I know what I did was honest and right. You can fool
other people, but you can’t fool yourself. That’s what I believe.
The second example can seem a little wordy. But the power of an
example is greater than any great words you can string together.
Everyone can claim they are honest, but with an example, it is
much more believable.
