Strength and Weakness

This is among the most expected question in a PI. And believe u me most of the answers are very very common. About 80% of the candidates go and say their strength is communication skill or good leadership quality. And among weakness there some stupid ones who say they that are emotional.

So please for God’s sake do not do such a mistake. Come up with some very nice and different strength and weakness. Now an important thing about your weakness should be that it should come out as your strength when you work on it. So think hard before you say anything.

Those who read this post will surely be at an advantage. I wil give you some strength and weaknesses which you can say and just back it up with certain proof (right or wrong doesn’t matter).

Top STRENGTH’s

1.       Hard working

2.       Workoholic

3.       Proactive

4.       Assertive

5.       Time management (very imp from managerial aspect)

6.       Passionate for work 

7.       Adaptable

8.       Empathy

9.       Problem Solving skills

Now even if you want to say communication skill use some better word atleast. Example Inter personal skill which include things like communication skill, leadership skill ability, to motivate others etc.

Also be ready with an explanation that you are going to give for your strength. I will show how

Adaptable: During my career in TCS and retail pharmacy and was involved in different procceses which were different from each other in so and so aspect and moreover having worked in a comfortable environment of IT company and exactly opposite environment in retail I truly believe I am very flexible in my approach.

Top Weaknesses

Please do not say that ur emotional or impatient. This things are absolutely no no for a manager.

More importantly never say that you have no weakness. Every person has one and panellist wants to know how much do you know yourself or how confident are you about yourself.

1.       Multitasking

2.       Workoholic

3.       Impatient for deadline

4.       Speak to the point

5.       Daydreamer

Multitasking: During my career in TCS my major job responsibility was in Discrepancy management but along with that I use to be very inquisitive to learn how other processes like vigilance, coding etc work and generally use to help them in their functions. In that process I would at times effect my productivity. So now I am learning to concentrate on one thing only and gaining just the knowledge of other departments.

Follow what I said and see the difference.
