They're going to ask you for your strengths as well, make sure you have something prepared.Originally Posted by TheCanuk
So something like:
Can I just add at this point they WILL ask you something to the effect of...
"What are your weaknesses?"
Don't give a bog-standard answer like "I work to much" or "I spend too much time on presentation"... they've heard it all before. Think of something unique but at the same time make sure it's not something like "I tend to steal pens from work now and again". Make sure it's something you can improve on
"When I start off on something new I am a bit nervous, but after a bit I warm right up."
Would be a good one?
"self-motivated" is a good one, but so is "team-player", and the two don't necessarily always go together, so you might want to say something like "adaptable", or "like a challenge"...
Also, don't be deadly serious, try and be relaxed and maybe a bit light-hearted (but not too much!)
I mean, don't be flippant and wacko, but make sure that some of your personality comes out. These people are going to need to know they can work with you on a professional level, but also that they can relate to you on a personal level too.
You spend alot of time with your colleagues in a work environment, so they're going to want to know you can fit in.
