What Is (Are) Your Strength (Strengths)? - Job Interview Answers.
This is a simple and popular interview question. Generally people answer it in two ways. There
are people who simply state their strength like “I am Young, Dynamic, Intelligent, Smart and so
on…”. Suchanswer is neither right nor wrong but does not help u in any way also.
Secondly there are peoples who state their strengths and explain them how he can use his
strength for the job and industry.
Do not simply state your strength. Everyone has some strength; all you need is to convert those
into benefits. In short, try to advertise yourself by converting your features into strengths.

Q: TELL ME ON THE BASIS OF WHICH STRENGTH SHOULD WE SELECT YOU?
As an individual, I am a package of all my strengths that I have stated to you and I strongly
believe that if you have to select me, you have to do so for all my strengths put together and not
for one strength in isolation. However if you still insist that you would like to select me for
a specific strength, than the prerogative is yours sir.
