- 1). Talk about at least two strengths that directly relate to the job you're pursuing. For example, if you're looking for a sales position, you could list talking to people and customers as one strength and persuasive speech as another strength.
- 2). Convey three to four general strengths that you have acquired through working. For example, if you were a manager at a restaurant, you could explain you possess leadership qualities, you work well under pressure, you have exceptional time management skills and excel in workplace communications.
- 3). Be Prepared to talk about one to two weaknesses that relate to the field of work you're interested in. For example, if you're interviewing for a position as an accountant, you could say that you could improve on your workplace communication and organization. Avoid talking about weaknesses that severely impact your ability to do your job. For example, avoid saying you struggle with math if you're interviewing for an accountant position, even if it's true.
- 4). Touch on one to two more general weaknesses. Your strengths should outweigh your weaknesses; you don't want to include too many weaknesses and give employers a reason to choose another candidate over you. General weaknesses can include the need to work on multitasking, teamwork or talking in front of a group.
