Which personal strengths make you excellent at your job? Advantages can be skills or qualities that help you overcome difficult circumstances or accomplish challenging tasks.

In a work context, your strengths will help you to complete your to-do list, understand client needs, and help you to apply what you have learned in your training. Talk to the interviewer about a couple of your strengths and why those will help you to be successful in this role.

"Some great strengths to mention are:

- Communicative
- Loyal
- Collaborative
- Tech Savvy
- Flexible in Schedule/Availability
- Persistent and Determined
- Eager for Knowledge/New Skills"

"I think my strengths are in my perceptiveness and ability to be observant of the needs of others. These strengths are part of what makes me an excellent performer in a client facing role."

"I think my greatest strengths are in my communication skills- both written and oral. I use these daily while leading my team of junior scientists, writing grant proposals, RFP's or making phone call pitches to our private funders."

Communication skills are critical in every industry, so it's wonderful that you've been able to leverage this skill set to improve your work. Since this question asks about your strengths as a scientist, I suggest including a technical strength, in addition to communication skills.
