What are your strongest subjects?

"My strongest subjects are my business courses. The subjects come easy to me and I am learning how different business functions work together to meet the needs of an organization."

The interviewer wants to know where your strengths lie so they can make the connection between your learning and your potential work performance. Before responding, think about the qualities and requirements mentioned in the job announcement for this internship. Be honest in your response, but share your strengths in the subjects closely related to the job. If you excel in math or finance courses, share how your financial strengths can be beneficial to the organization.

"I've received my highest grades in my accounting courses. I have always enjoyed working with numbers and can see myself being happy in this career field. I would love to apply my accounting skills and knowledge within your organization to help your budget team out."
