Question:

“How do you communicate your strengths in an interview? – Sarah

The most important thing during an interview is to think about your strengths in terms of accomplishments. I recommend all of my students put everything they have done previously in internships and prior jobs into work experience stories.

If you can go through this and put your strengths into accomplishments and work experience stories, you’ll be very prepared for your interview.  What good is a strength if you don’t actually show that you are using it to get results and make a difference with your work?

If I was interviewing you, I would want to know your strengths. But, even more, important I would want to see what actual results you have received with those strengths in your prior roles. I want to see that you have done some self-assessment to know what your strengths are and that you are using them to get actual results.
