Assessing Your Strengths\n\nAssess your skills, and you will identify your strengths. This is an exercise worth doing before any interview. Make a list of your skills, dividing them into three categories:\n\n    1. Knowledge-based skills: Acquired from education and experience (e.g., computer skills, languages, degrees, training and technical ability).\n\n    2. Transferable skills: Your portable skills that you take from job to job (e.g., communication and people skills, analytical problem solving and planning skills).\n\n    3. Personal traits: Your unique qualities (e.g., dependable, flexible, friendly, hard working, expressive, formal, punctual and being a team player).\n\nWhen you complete this list, choose three to five of those strengths that match what the employer is seeking in the job posting. Make sure you can give specific examples to demonstrate why you say that is your strength if probed further. \n\nWhat Are Your Strong Points?\n\nIdentifying your five strengths and matching them to the job is an important step in preparing for your interview. Read through the description and identify the key factors needed to do the job. Be sure to read between the lines. For example:\n\n    Will interact with accounting, engineering and manufacturing departments.\n\nWhat will it take to perform this task? What kind of person is this company looking for?\n\nIt will require good communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to interface with a diverse group of people and levels. If these are your areas of strength, focus on letting the interviewer know that you have the ability and experience to interface well with many different groups.\n\nLike the speechwriter, you want your audience to remember the important points you have made. By concentrating on a handful of strengths, you will find that you are more focused and succinct about telling what you have to offer. More importantly, the folks you meet are more likely to remember you for your strengths.

Honest ones. We would like to know that you are GENUINELY interested in the opportunity, and that you did a little research about the position that you are interviewing for and the company in general. This question is typically a set up question for me, meaning that I am able to get an idea of which interview style is going to get me the most information abou the candidate I am talking to. \nThe perception is, that if you can't successfully answer this question, then you are really not that excited about the position you applied for, and are just looking for another "job".\n\nAnd don't worry... GOOD interviewers understand that there are many factors in an interview. Nervousness and other things may play a factor in your ability to articulate yourself and a good interviewer will pick up on this and try to get you comfortable enough to really talk about the skills you have. Interviewing someone that is too nervous to talk is really going to limit the amount of information received from the candidate.\n\nAnd one more tip... Don't be afraid to ask them the same question... "What are you looking to gain from the person that you ultimately decide to put in this position?" From there you can determine what traits you have that would help them to accomplish their goal.\n\nGood Luck!

Depends on your abilities.  For example: I am an efficient and well versed candidate for the job posting, I have X number of years of experience in this field.  I am an energetic, highly motivated self-starter, that does very well with little or no supervision.

Most HR managers haven't a clue what would make a good employee.  I would expect they view as essential qualities they are lacking in themselves - good customer focus, efficiency and a genuine desire to help people.

The best way to tell this is to ask around and try to find people who currently work at or used to work at these companies.  To do this, you'll probably need a good network of contacts, or at least some really good internet searching skills.  But asking current/past employees is really the best way to find out what the people at a company are like, because you pretty much can't tell anything from an interview.

Research the position you are applying for ahead of time and try to find out your duties. Look within yourself for your talents that would complement that position and duties. When asked what strengths you have, simply state your own talents that are suited to that position. If you don't have any experience in that position, say I learn things quickly and require little supervision to get my job done. You might add that you take pride in getting a job done correctly and on time. Don't lie, but don't be ashamed to make your good points shine. ... Good Luck...

Hi, I am into recruitment myself and have worked with big recruitment firms, so pleae treat this answer with this background. You may get help from the following guidelines:\n\n1. Make sure that you treat the candidates right from the onset with an embedded hint or straight fact-stating that, the outcome could be negative as well. This prepares the candidate for the negative outcome.\n\n2. The candidates sometimes treat the negative outcome as some bad certificate about themselves. Make sure that you tell the candidate in advance that you are looking for a "fit" and not the best. This is true also, sometimes a cleint would offer someone less competitive keeping in mind the issues like stability, growth etc.  \n\n3. Break the news to them nicely (probably you are looking for this one liner). Its NOT right to keep them hanging with your comments like " we are waiting for a feedback" or " its on hold, will keep you posted" you are postponing it unnecessarily. Eventually the candidate will get the message BUT you will lose your relationship. The best would be to break the news without hyping it too much:\n\nThey have not shortlisted you, though they found you good and we also feel that you were a good choice. All this does not at all means that you are not competent. Its only that this particular opening had some mismatches. We would like you to be in touch for something coming up in the future.\n\nYou say this or you don't, candidates know it. If you say it, you are taking their side and hence making the relationship stronger.\n\n4. Remember, good candidates are a resource you should treat nicely. they may offer you good opportunities to place them and sometimes they may become your clients. And something which we do not see immediately is that your informal network is growing.\n\nDo write back if you are not satisfied with this one.

I'm in HR and the best qualities would be patience, tact, and calmness.  I never know what I'll be faced with when I go into work.  It's like being the police/psychologist of the office.  A lot of conflict and trouble is avoided by tact and remaining composed.
