Interview Skills Worksheet: Strengths and Weaknesses

Interview skills lesson 13: Strengths and weaknesses · Set 57 · 40 questions

Tip (Honest and useful): Strength: name it, then prove it with a short real example — prepare two or three. Weakness: a real one that is not the main skill of the role, plus what you are doing to improve it. Avoid: “I have no weaknesses”, “I work too hard / I am too perfect”, “I am good at everything”, or a weakness with no plan to change.
