Interview Basics (Seventh in a Series of 12): Strengths

One of the things that you need to point out to the interviewer is your strengths.  And I am not just talking about the generic answers that most interviewees come up with.  For example, "I am a hard worker", or "I am dependable".  Those are good attributes to have, but doesn't necessarily show why you deserve to get the job.

Instead let the interviewer know your professional strengths.  You can refer to interview basics number six for some pointers.

Some additional strengths may include areas of creativity, business procedural skills (presentation, negotiation) and specific-knowledge skills. 

Remember employers are looking for someone who has "above the rest" strengths so make it a point to let them know your special strengths.
