everybody Don Georgevich of Job Interview
tools.com today I'm going to
show you how to answer the question what
do you consider are your most
significant strengths and this is a top
Quinn quick top 10 question you can
expect to get it on your interview I'm
going to show you how to come up with a
couple of different ways to answer this
question and where you can pull these
stories from and how to relate your
strengths to the requirements for this
job ok let's get started ok so let's get
started
what do you consider your most
significant strengths I mean what are
you good at doing and when this is a top
10 interview question that you can
really expect to get on any job
interview they're going to want to know
what you feel you are best at doing and
it needs to be something that's related
to the to the job that you're aiming for
and it needs to be related to things
that you've done in the past now you
should have at least you know three of
these kind of stories ready to go at any
given time because you know if they ask
you you know what do you feel your
greatest strengths are you know you just
don't want to rattle off you know one of
them you want to have a couple of these
you can interject these stories in
throughout the interview so you want to
have a few of these are ready to go they
need to be related to the job though
that that's really the key to answering
this question
they can't be some personal stories like
you know maybe you're a great piano
player you know I'm sure you're a
fantastic parent you know maybe you're
good baseball player you know all that
stuff they don't want to hear that those
are personal interests they're not
related to the job that's the thing
that's the dividing line right there
they're not related to the job so you
need to come up with things that are
related to the job and that's where so
many people blow this question now some
people will even go in there and say you
know I don't have any okay
don't tell them you don't have any
strengths everybody has strengths you
just need to dig deep and you need to
find out what they are and I know you
can do it everybody has strengths so
don't go in and tell them you don't have
it that would be bad in it let me show
you how I like to answer this question
it's pretty straight up you'll be able
to just kind of look at my answer and
take a few pieces
shuffle it around turn it into your
answer it's not too tough one one thing
you could say you could go in there and
say you know I have a solid background
in accounts receivable I've great
problem-solving skills and I get things
done with little direction you know and
then you want to back it up a little bit
you want to back up this answer you know
you have a solid background and accounts
receivable okay I mean that could be
anything you can have a solid background
in information technology management
drafting can be anything so that that's
a replaceable phrase there and then
you're going to want to back it up and
tell them you know until you have the
solid background but you know and here's
why I have that sell it back right you
know here's some of the things you know
that I've done I mean you don't want to
babble on and on on you want to make it
real quick but you might just want to
say you know I've saw a background
accounts receivable I've been doing this
for six years and you know here's some
of the things I've done and then the
other part is also good to throw in
there you have great problem-solving
abilities that shows that you know how
to get things done you know how to work
through problems you're volunteering
this information that you can do this
and you also want to let them know that
you work with little direction this
means that you are working with out you
don't need someone hovering over you you
don't need to need to be micromanaged
you can kind of take things in one so
that's a great way to answer that
question is kind of massage it around a
little bit make it your own answer
another way another thing you can say is
you know I have great communication
skills I can work with many different
types of people varying personalities
few levels you know whatever and what
this is saying is this saying is is
saying this is this is really great way
because there are so many people in the
workplace that there are so many
different types of people they all have
personalities you know some are you know
real easy to get along with some are
more difficult this is saying that you
work well with a lot of different types
of people and then you're going to want
to say that you know maybe your last job
you know you worked at all these
different kinds of people describe a
couple of the personalities you worked
with and you know let them know that you
are a very universal type person and you
know that they would just love to have
working there okay hey this is all I
