This is among the questions RBC advises their candidates to prepare themselves for. "Other questions you should be ready for include: Why do you want to work here? What are your strengths and weaknesses? Where do you see yourself in five years? What can you tell me about yourself? What's been your biggest challenge (or failure)? What accomplishment are you most proud of?" By preparing for the questions they'll ask in advance, you'll be better equipped to align yourself with what they are looking for in their ideal candidates. "If you have experience and qualifications that relate to the job you're applying for, by all means, highlight them!" So, be mindful of your verbal and non-verbal cues for indicators of honesty, confidence, and the underlying message of each of your answers. Be honest and sincere and align your strengths with the strengths they celebrate their employees for.

When describing your self-perceived strengths, focus on your skills, behaviors, and competencies that feel specific to the job. You want to come across as highly skilled to the algorithm, which would classify someone as an expert who is "aware of other's needs and feelings, is attentive, meticulous, and careful in how they operate, delivering a thorough and high-quality job, and evaluates the impact of their work to improve future delivery." Someone with an intermediate skill level or higher it would classify as "attentive, meticulous, and careful in how they operate, delivering a thorough and high-quality job." So, when answering this, and other questions, pay attention to the nuance of each question, and try to come across as organized, with a high attention to detail, and consistent in delivering accurate and high-quality work.
