What are your strengths? It's a question I have been asked but I often feel the question the interviewer wants to ask is really "what can't you do?" I think this because I am often only asked about the potential negative things in my work history. I'm asked "were you ever fired?"- I'm never asked "Did you ever stand up to an unethical or immoral policy instead of just following along blindly?"
I don't expect people to just hand things to me, but I do expect people to look at my virtues. I wonder what would happen if when I'm asked what I'll bring to the company I'd answer "an extremely moral and ethical person who won't embarrass the company with scandals."
My strengths are honesty, integrity, hard working, and the ability to get the best out of people- what are yours?
