Greatest Weekness

Disguise a strength as a weakness.  Examples of Weaknesses: I sometimes push my people too hard. I like to work with a sense of urgency and everyone is not on the same wavelength. For my weakness, I always say that some people say I'm over-friendly. You can't go wrong with that one. Usually, the person interviewing is like "Oh, that's not a bad thing at all." I'm a little egoistic when it comes to winning things and get a little ruthless too. I lose patience sometimes when I am not in a position to complete the assigned job in time. I have to work on having more patience and giving myself a break, because I always want everything done at once. Tend to go to any limits while helping my friends. I am too focused on my work and I need to find more time to relax. I'm too focused on work and need to develop some after-hours hobbies.

Greatest Strengths

Prior to any interview, you should have a list mentally prepared of your greatest strengths. You should also have, a specific example or two, which illustrates each strength, an example chosen from your most recent and most impressive achievements. You should, have this list of your greatest strengths and corresponding examples from your achievements so well committed to memory that you can recite them cold after being shaken awake at 2:30AM. Examples of Strengths: 1.       One of my biggest strengths is my communication skills. I work very well with all kinds of people, and understand that everyone has different perspectives about projects and work tasks - so when I work with others I realize that everyone comes to the table with different priorities and objectives. I keep this in mind when I communicate tasks that need to be accomplished with positive reinforcement and awareness of what others are working on. 2.       A positive attitu...

Tell me about yourself

About 90% of the interviews start with this question. Start with the present and tell why you are well qualified for the position. Remember that the key to all successful interviewing is to match your qualifications to what the interviewer is looking for. In other words you must sell what the buyer is buying. This is the single most important strategy in job hunting. You can follow the following procedure: Tell your name first, only if the interviewer doesn't called you by your name. Location from where you belong. Higher education and college name. Strengths Hobbies Achievements- in brief Any course you have done regarding the post required Project Work Work experience if any   DO's & DON't: The answer must not exceed 2-3 minutes. Don't mention your weaknesses. Don't mention your parents name and school name. End the answer with your strong point because there are more chances that your next question rises related to that point. No need to tell them about your ...
