When answering this question, share your true strengths, not those you think the interviewer wants to hear. Choose relevant and specific strengths, for example, instead of “people skills,” choose “persuasive communication” or “relationship building”. Then, follow up with an example of how you’ve demonstrated these traits in a professional setting.
Be clear and precise. If you’re a great problem solver, don’t just say that: Provide a few examples that prove you’re a great problem solver. If you’re an emotionally intelligent leader, don’t just say that: Provide a few examples that prove you know how to answer the unasked question.
In short, don’t just claim to have certain attributes — prove you have those attributes.
