"Interview Question: What Are Your Strengths?"

"What are your strengths?" is a classic interview question. It seems simple enough, but these four words present something of a minefield for candidates.

That’s because it requires you to tread carefully between two paths: too humble on one side, and too arrogant on the other. For that reason, most candidates don’t answer it well.

Too much humility, and you’ll undersell your achievements and skills, leading the employer to think you’re less competent than you are. But oversell yourself too much, and you can easily come across as self-interested and potentially unable to work well in a team.

And both of these can happen by accident if you don’t prepare properly. If you’re caught out, you can easily end up drawing a blank or pushing too hard on the one strength you can bring to mind.
