- To see if you’re self-aware and to identify your mindset and attitude
- To verify if your strengths fit the job spec and whether they match your CV
- To check your consistency across the interview, application process, CV etc.
- To consider if you are self-aware and mature enough to know and express your strengths and acknowledge your weakness
- To gauge if you have the good judgement to decide which of your strengths / weaknesses should be emphasised as they could ‘fit’ to the organisation, culture, job

- To see if you can handle the question – are you prepared, honest and objective (with a healthy self-critique)?
- Stay calm – remain composed
- Remember the feedback from your colleagues – what are your personality / leadership / behavioural strengths?
- Highlight positives. Giving an example of your strength say e.g. ‘I am told consistently that I am strong with….’
- Make the link from your interests to your skills – always link to the job
- On weaknesses, choose a non-critical competence or skill (an ‘allowable weakness’)
- Ensure you can turn the weakness into a positive – show how it ‘works’ for the target job
- Show how you have dealt with it and prove you have overcome it. Show resilience
- Appreciate and emphasize the learning you get from managing your weakness
- Present examples of positive feedback you have received from all sources
