Welcome back to another interview prep episode! Today, we’re breaking down (yet another) one of the most common questions you’ll get in an interview: “What are your strengths and weaknesses?”
It's easier than you think, there is an EXACT formula you can use to answer this question, and you can PREPARE YOUR ANSWER ahead of time!
We cover:
- The exact format you can follow to answer both parts of this question
- How to choose the right strengths and weaknesses to mention
- When to list more than one strength or weakness
- What not to say when talking about weaknesses
- Example responses for early-career professionals!
Don’t forget to check out The Prelude for a music tie-in and more ideas for strengths you can mention in your answer!
