I enjoy situations where I am allowed to work with other people to come up with creative solutions. At my last company we were asked to come up with ways to increase our work flow without decreasing our accuracy.

Rather than go home and ignore the problem, I stayed late and finished the project, making sure that our deadline was not only met, but that the report was accurate.” This is good answer.

What are your greatest strengths? “I’m a people person. As a customer service rep for the past five years, I’ve learned how to deal with a wide variety of personalities. I enjoy handling tough cases as it gives me a chance to problem solve. I enjoy interacting with the public and love doing outreach. Two summers ago I was lucky enough to be a part of the Black Friday crew. A lot of other employees found it stressful and didn’t enjoy it but I really found that I loved the excitement and the rush of having so many people come through so quickly. Not only was I constantly engaged, but I was able to provide one on one shopping assistance to a few last minute gift buyers. Not only did I have a great time but my team had the highest receipts for the entire weekend! It felt great.” This is good answer. It provides verifiable facts.

If you find yourself in a situation where the interviewer asks you this question, make sure to always start with your weaknesses and end with your strengths. You want to leave a good taste in the hiring manager's mouth, so make sure the last thing you say in your response is something that leaves you in a positive light. So in other words, focus on your weaknesses first! Retrieved on January 6th, 2016 from
