Question by jmando519: I need help with the what are your strengths and weaknesses job interview question. I want to sound original!?
The interview is for a job doing customer services at a car sales place. It focuses on organization and people skills. I don’t want to give them a generic answer they’ll be hearing all day. Please help!
Best answer:
Give your answer to this question below!
I think the post I referenced will help you a lot…it starts with this:
“Here’s a five-step response strategy for this question:
1. Highlight your strengths for the position.
2. Mention a new skill or area in which you are not yet as strong as you’d like to be (don’t use the word “weakness.”).
3. Outline what you’re doing to master the new skill and overcome your so-called “weakness.”
4. Describe how this new skill will improve your value to the company.
5. Finish with a question that will redirect the interview back to your real strengths.”
It finishes with examples of how you can bring it all together. I’m sure if you work on this it will sound original…Good luck!
