You think it’s an easy question because you are good at so many things you want to tell. Yes it’s easy to answer but not so easy to make it impressive. How to have a killer answer then? Ask yourself first, what strength is the most wanted by this employer? By studying the job announcement you could be clue. It may want a specific, a leadership, capacity to handle multiple projects someone who can work under pressure, etc. Then you should “apply” your strength accordingly.
For example, if the job announcement asked for J2EE development project lead for multiple projects, you could answer: “I’m an experienced J2EE developer with team leadership skills such as project planning, task prioritization and time management. But my greatest strength is my ability to effectively handle multiple projects and deadlines.” To make you answer accountable, you may include brief examples about how your strengths have been beneficial in past situations.
Don’t forget to mention your non-technical strength, — hard working, commitment, dedicatation, etc.
Let’s see a sample answer:
“I have strong Java programming skills. With over 5 years of Java experience, I have developed several highly-complicated Java applications in both client/server and web-based platforms. I work very hard and always to whatever it takes to get my job done. That’s my greatest strength.”
