Strengths: Independent, hard working, intelligent, creative, dependable, responsible, detail-oriented, very organized, hold myself to a high standard.
Weaknesses: Difficult time delegating, sometimes forget to look at the bigger picture (too busy focusing on details), sometimes get distracted.
strengths... well, I am awesome. haha... no one really wants to hear the strengths anyway and they change depending on what i am interviewing for
weaknesses... the big one for me is that I bore easily, so if I don't feel challenged or I am forced to do repetitive, menial tasks I get distracted easily.
I was listening to my friend tell me what she said at the interview and she said that her blackberry was her weakness
Where as it may be true, who the hell would say that???
Strengths:
Team Player, Energetic, hard working, honest, people person
Weaknesses:
Overly organized. I like to be planned and have a place for things when it comes to work. I have an order I like to do things in. Sometimes this makes me feel less flexible but I am working on being more flexible and not getting bent out of shape when something doesnt go the way I planned.
