How Do You Answer the Strengths and Weaknesses Question?

[Campus reveiw]

The question “What are your strengths and weaknesses?” can be challenging because candidates need to balance confidence with honesty.

A useful response connects personal qualities to the role. For example, a candidate might describe problem-solving as a strength and explain how they used it during a project. For a weakness, they could mention an area they are working to improve and describe their progress.



Freshers can draw examples from college assignments, internships, volunteering, and group activities.
