"Between my Bachelor's Degree in Construction Project Management and my recently obtained PMP certification, I feel confident in my knowledge base of all project stages. With that said, where I excelled the most in school and during my internship was with project monitoring and control. In school, I received top marks in Project Delivery Systems and Project Organization and Supervision. I understand the importance of regularly reporting issues, continually assessing risks, and closely monitoring progress. Rest assured, should I be hired as your next Construction PM, I will make sure that projects are delivered as expected."

The hiring authority would like to see where your strengths are when it comes to different stages of project management. In a typical project, the steps may include:
- Project scope/definition
- Project initiation
- Planning
- Execution
- Monitoring/control
- Closure
Of course, as a project manager, especially if you are an experienced one, you will have strengths in each area. However, you may find that you have stand-out advantages in one or two specific areas of project management. Speak about your most considerable skills, and close off your answer by mentioning exactly how your most significant strengths will be an asset to the company, should you be the successful candidate.

"Although I have vast experience in all stages of a construction project, I believe my greatest skills are in the project definition stage. I am strong in setting reasonable project goals, outlining objectives, the scope of work, identifying potential risks, and then budgeting around that information. I understand that your organization takes extra care in the definition stage, which ensures that projects go off the rails less frequently. As an avid planner, it seems that my strengths and this company's approach would be a strong match."
