1 Identify your core strengths

Before the interview, make a list of your core strengths that are relevant to the role and the organization. These can be hard skills, such as technical knowledge or certifications, or soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, or leadership. Think of specific examples of how you have used these strengths in your previous or current roles, and how they have contributed to your success and growth. You can use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your examples and show how you applied your strengths to solve a problem, achieve a goal, or overcome a challenge.

é de fundamental importancia, ir bem preparado a uma entrevista de emprego, no qual, ir?o lhe conhecer, mas antes de tudo você deve se conhecer muito bem e ter isso muito bem claro, e já ir bem preparado. Para responder sobre seus pontos fortes, é importante ser honesto, cite de 3 a 5. Estes pontos podem ser chave para conectar a nova vaga, e caso for escolhido, será cobrado e podem haver frustra??es caso você n?o tenha sido verdadeiro. Foque seus pontos fortes na rela??o com a vaga ofertada, por exemplo, caso seja uma vaga de lideran?a ressalte os pontos voltados a desenvolvimento de equipes e estratégia de processos.

One of the main reason to succeed in a job interview is proper preparation to ensure all answers are relevant to the requirements of the job description. So candidates should mention the strengths related to job description. If the role is a managerial role, then candidate should provide strengths related to leading and directing people. It is important to be honest and ensuring these strengths provided are supported with examples to ensure the interviewers are fully convinced. Candidate should mention 3-5 strengths, ensuring three are related to description, and may add 1-2 strengths that candidate is proud off.

Typical strength that I used in Project Management Structure are as follows: 1. Units of Competence: It corresponds to one of the five Project Management Process Groups of Initiating, Planning, Executing, Controlling, and Closing. 2. Elements of Competence: It consists of a number of elements, which reflect the activities in which, I am expected to be experienced. 3. Performance Criteria. It is described by Performance Criteria, which specify the outcomes to be achieved in order to demonstrate competent performance. 4. Types of Evidence: They are associated with each of the Performance Criteria to form the basis upon which competence can be self-assessed. MAK

When asked about my greatest strengths, I typically highlight my effective communication skills, both verbally and in writing. I also mention my ability to work well in teams, as I enjoy collaborating with others to achieve common goals. Additionally, I emphasize my ability to adapt to different situations and quickly learn new skills, enabling me to effectively tackle challenges.

2 Choose three to five strengths to highlight

You don't have to mention all your strengths in your answer, as that might sound overwhelming or unfocused. Instead, choose three to five strengths that are most relevant to the role and the organization, and that differentiate you from other candidates. For example, if you are applying for a project manager position, you might emphasize your strengths in planning, organizing, collaborating, and delivering results. If you are applying for a customer service role, you might highlight your strengths in listening, empathizing, problem-solving, and satisfying customers.

3 Tailor your answer to the job and the organization

One of the most important aspects of answering the question is to tailor your answer to the specific job and the organization you are applying to. You can do this by researching the job description, the organization's mission, vision, values, and goals, and the industry trends and challenges. Then, align your strengths with the requirements and expectations of the role and the organization, and show how you can help them achieve their objectives and overcome their difficulties. For example, if the organization values innovation and creativity, you might mention your strength in generating new ideas and implementing them effectively.

4 Be honest and humble

While you want to impress the interviewer with your strengths, you also want to be honest and humble. Don't exaggerate or lie about your strengths, as that might backfire if the interviewer asks you to provide evidence or tests your skills. Don't use generic or clichéd phrases, such as "I'm a hard worker" or "I'm a team player", without providing specific examples or context. Don't compare yourself to other candidates or put them down, as that might make you look arrogant or insecure. Instead, focus on your own achievements and potential, and acknowledge the areas where you can improve or learn.

Here, it would be great to demonstrate with specific example like “how do you manage changes.” This will be more meaningful when contrasted with —general, operations and technical overviews. MAK

5 Practice and refine your answer

Finally, practice and refine your answer before the interview, so that you can deliver it with confidence and clarity. You can use a friend, a family member, or a mentor as a mock interviewer, and ask them to give you feedback on your answer. You can also record yourself and review your performance, paying attention to your tone, body language, and timing. You can also prepare some follow-up questions or comments that might arise from your answer, such as how you measure your strengths, how you develop your strengths, or how you balance your strengths and weaknesses.

He entrevistado a cientos de personas para diferentes puestos de trabajo. A mi entender, lo más importante de un candidato no es que te cuente su curriculum sino que me cuente qué cosas ha hecho y cómo puede ayudar a solucionar los problemas que la vacante requiere resolver. Tan simple y tan contundente como eso.

Lo más importante es el autoconocimiento para dar la respuesta. Es cierto que en las entrevistas se improvisa, por lo que debemos al menos saber lo que podemos aportar a la empresa a la que estamos postulando y sobre todo los retos que se van a tener.
