What are your key strengths?

How well do you know about yourself?
Many of us think we know our personal strengths but in fact, very few people can provide good answer. Just telling I am a good leader or negotiator is meaningless. You need to share real life examples which prove those strengths. You should be well prepared to answer this question. Tell the strengths which are relevant to the job role. Think of relevant strengths which you have and matter to the job. Tell your strength story.
