Three Strongest Things

In early interview rounds, a question about your three strongest things or strongest traits you could bring to the interviewer’s organization is usually asked.

  • “I solve problems. Most people run away from problems. I run to them because I want to fix them. For example, here was a situation…”
  • “I know how to find efficiencies in any operation. In my previous job, I led an effort that improved our productivity by 28% while reducing our costs by 18%. This netted an extra $2.4M to our bottom line.”
  • “I’m a builder of powerful culture for our people. In my last job we improved our recruiting of key talent tremendously and reduced our turnover by 33%.”

These statements say something of value that will instill excitement in the interviewer. Don’t be bland when asked about your three strongest things. Think long and hard to come up with your power statements to get your interviewer excited so you can make the cut and move on to the next round of interviews.
