Your interviewer wants to know what you perceive as your greatest strengths and how your strengths will benefit their team. Your answer should demonstrate your confidence and self-awareness. Be aware that the interviewer will notice the consistency of your answers.

Kevin Downey

Emphasize the strengths that make you well suited to the role. Identify the qualities the company wants in a candidate from the job description or the company's website and name one of those qualities as your top strength.

Kevin Downey

"I think my greatest strength is my can-do attitude. The only thing we have any control over is our attitude. I choose to see the glass as half full. When someone comes up with an idea, I never say it can't be done. Rather, I'm the one who says, to achieve that goal, we'd have to overcome XYC. Where there is a will, there is a way. Luck is where you find it, and fortune favors the brave."
