Make a list of examples of when you demonstrated your best strengths.

Target the employer.

Did you talk about a strength that is relevant to the job and a strength the company/employer needs and/or wants?

Provide an example.

Did you give an example of when you used your greatest strength in a professional/educational setting?

Don’t be shy about your strengths.

Look back at your answer. Do you think you highlighted your strengths enough, or were you timid in talking about yourself?

Avoid bragging.

Did you avoid saying you were great at everything and instead focus on one or two strengths specific to the job?
