The hardest question of the interview is: What are your biggest strengths?
Try to hit these points if you possess these abilities:

- time-management skills
- detail-oriented
- honesty
- determination
Another difficult question to answer is: What are your weaknesses? Everyone has weaknesses so...
- Be honest and authentic
- Don't throw yourself under the bus when describing a weakness
- Tell them how you handle or overcome your weaknesses in order to accomplish a goal

- Where your passion lies
- Past accomplishments and how they tie into the position
- Your special qualities that relate to the position or how these qualities can enhance the position.You may tell a story to illustrate these qualities
- What you are looking for in the position
- Always be engaged and ask questions!
