      How to Answer

      It's going to be a lot easier to give a clear, concise interview answer if you just pick one strength. It's best to choose something that will help you succeed in your job. Review the job description and figure out what the job requires or what's most important to the company.

      1st Answer Example

      "My greatest strength is my ability to see the project in a large, full picture, before beginning any solid plans. My ability to view all facets of a plan has been incredibly helpful in my career as it prevents me from making some unnecessary errors and oversights. My current manager has made this comment to me multiple times in my past performance reviews."

      2nd Answer Example

      "My greatest strength is attention to detail. I've always been detail-oriented in my work, and it's something I really enjoy and take pride in. I noticed in your job description that this role involves a lot of detail-oriented work, which is one reason I applied. In my last job, I was frequently required to manage 4 to 5 projects at a time and often had over 50 different tasks going on in those different projects. Being detail-oriented allowed me to deliver 100% of my projects on time to our clients. In fact, I finished 45% of my assigned projects ahead of schedule."
