Interview Question: How Can Your #Strengths Help Our Company? Bad Answer “My strengths are that I am a hard worker. I have knowledge in PowerPoint and Access. I have worked in the marketing field for over 10 years. I have always been a fast worker and reliable. I believe that my skills and expertise will allow me to do the job well and to help your company grow.” Too many clichés, and it focuses too much on the job without discussing the strengths of the company. Good Answer “Your company has long been a leader in strategic marketing, due primarily to your usage of modern marketing technologies and current techniques for reaching your target markets. When I worked at MarketTech, I worked directly with those same strategies include the integration of social media marketing. I also have a passion for new technologies that will allow me to adapt to the ever-changing marketplace. I have a history of working directly with marketing companies that focus on integration, using such products as Software Name 1, Software Name 2, and Software Name 3, I am I am positive that these experiences will help your company achieve its goals.” Fewer clichés, and a focus on how your experiences will help the company. You can also integrate information about the corporate culture, or anything else that shows that you understand how that company operates. Take Away Interview Tips Focus on the company, not the job description. Relate your experiences to the company. Be confident with your answer. Avoid all clichés. @Internitup on Twitter
