"My greatest strength is attention to detail. I've always been detail-oriented in my work, and it's something I enjoy. I saw in your job description that this role involves a lot of detail-oriented work, which is one reason I applied. In my last internship, I was frequently required to multi-task and jump from project to project based on project deadlines. Being flexible and detail-oriented allowed me to deliver 100% of my tasks on projects on time to the team and clients."

When you're asked questions about your strengths, think of attributes that will best qualify you for the specific job and set you apart from the other candidates. Prepare ahead of time by reviewing the job description and matching your strengths to the requirements of the role. Think of comments on performance reviews and reference letters from past employers and professors and consider what others have complimented you for in the past.
