2. What are your strengths?
Closely examine yourself and make a list of your strengths and weaknesses. It is better if your strength is directly related to the positions you apply for. Even if it does seem to be, always link your strength with the responsibilities of the position you apply for. A similar question with the above would be asking for your weaknesses.
