Qualities vs Weaknesses What are your strengths? Organised Passionated Curious Quality-driven Solving problems What have you been doing to improve? Disorganized Prone to procrastination Uncomfortable with public speaking Extreme introversion Limited experience in a particular skill or software https://www.coursera.org/articles/str engths-and-weaknesses-interview
Example of a strength Solving Problems I am a solutions-oriented person and a quick learner. In my role as an electrical engineer, I learned to perform well under pressure when designing equipment because our team would not be able to win a contract unless we produced the blueprints quickly, with as few resources as possible. In these circumstances, I am not afraid to ask questions to figure out the challenge. I do extensive research for every client, so I can be extra prepared. https://www.coursera.org/articles/strengths-and-weaknesses-interview
Example of a weakness Lack of experience with skill or software I haven't had as much experience with Python as I'd like. When I decided to make a shift into data analytics, I knew I'd need to use a statistical programming language to perform efficient analysis. I signed up for a Python for Everybody course, and I've found I really love it. I'm excited to start applying the techniques I'm learning to help make my workflow more efficient. https://www.coursera.org/articles/strengths-and-weaknesses-interview
Do your homework 1. Know your theory 2. Practice coding games (leetcode, codility, coding game...) 3. Make sure you know what’s on the role and you did your research 4. Do not lie if you do not know, relate to similar situation
