What is your greatest strength?
The interviewer wants to hear about your greatest strength to determine if you have the qualities they are looking for. Review the job description before your interview and look for keywords Walgreens used to describe its ideal candidate. Then, choose one of those keywords that you have identified as your greatest strength, showing the interviewer that you have the characteristics they are looking for. Then, describe how your strength will bring value to the company.
Suppose the job description says Walgreens seeks a college student in their senior year with solid communication and interpersonal skills to work in an internship position. In that case, describe your greatest strength as either your communication or interpersonal skills. Focus on using a keyword in the job description so the interviewer can see that you have one of the qualities they are looking for in their ideal candidate.
Most job descriptions use several keywords to describe the qualities they are looking for in their ideal candidate. Avoid using a strength that is not in the job announcement or unrelated to an internship position. The interviewer wants to hear that your strength is a quality they seek in a candidate and that you will benefit the company if hired.
"My greatest strength is my communication skills. I developed these skills in high school as the class president and team captain of my softball team. I have further developed these skills in college as the debate team captain. I was elected to these positions for my ability to lead a group of people to accomplish and achieve the same goals by communicating in a way that everyone understood. I enjoy communicating with diverse groups, and I look forward to bringing these skills to your company if I am chosen for the internship."
