Avoid describing a strength that is unrelated to the position. For example, your greatest strength might be public speaking or giving presentations. However, that is not necessarily a strength that applies to woodworking, and the interviewer may not see that strength as one that will benefit their company.

"My greatest strength is my interpersonal skills. I work well with diverse groups of people, I am an active listener, and I communicate well in written and verbal form. I am responsible, dependable, and have strong leadership and customer service skills. These skills help me as a woodworker because I work with clients and my crew daily. It is important to communicate with others and be a team player to achieve a common goal. When a customer has a concern or question, it is essential to listen and address their concerns, so they are satisfied with my work."
