background—experience and education—are a perfect fit for this position.
Second, I have excellent written and oral communication skills. And last, I am
very flexible and adaptable to new situations.
One
of the strongest points is my ability to work with a diversity of people.
Regardless of the situation, I have the ability to adapt and work under any
circumstances. In my last job I worked in a small room with 13 people all speaking
various languages, and still managed to stay focused.
My
strength is my ability to remain calm in chaotic situations. I have had to keep
my cool in every job I have ever held. Fast-paced environments are no longer a challenge
to me; they are a way of life. I manage to stay cantered no matter what is
happening, and as a result the people around me feel calmer.”

have worked effectively in three different industries and have been able to
make the transition with minimum downtime. My ability to learn quickly and ‘hit
the ground running,’ has made a huge impact on my career.
One
of the skills that I take pride in is my ability to listen to people and really
hear what they say. I consider this to be key in sales. Before I even think of
selling someone something, I find out what the needs are.
My
key strengths are my strong analytical skills and my ability to use those
skills to see all sides of a problem.
Problem
solving is my strength and greatest asset.
4. Give me an example of a time when you used your strength to achieve results.
My
strength as an employee is my dependability. There was a situation in which I
was on call to cover any computer disasters over the weekend. A call came in,
and I was not the technician closest to the company involved but I could see
that no one else was responding. I had weekend plans but considered my job
first. I responded to the call four hours before anyone else and was able to prevent
downtime for the company on Monday morning.
Working
for an executive who was out of town a great deal of time, I often made
decisions based on my judgment. There was one incident when I had to make a decision
about calling a meeting off or trying to get someone else to cover the meeting
for my boss in his absence. I made a few critical calls and was able to avoid cancelling
a meeting that would have involved out-of-town executives. Everyone, including
my boss, was grateful for my quick thinking and judgment.

My
knowledge of construction and the laws and regulations—county, state, and
federal—saved one company that I worked for a great deal of money. Working as a
consultant, I was able to see that one project was in danger of violating
several building codes. I was able to make suggestions to bring the project to
code and as a result saved the company money in building costs and as well as
fines.
