tremendously in this field of work.
2. I've always been a great team player. I'm good at keeping a team together and
producing quality work in a team environment.
3. After having worked for a couple of years, I realized my strength is accomplishing a large
amount of work within a short period of time. I get things done on time and my manager
always appreciated it.
4. My strongest trait is in customer service. I listen and pay close attention to my
customer's needs and I make sure they are more than satisfied.

Với weaknesses thì đơn giản nhất là phủ định strengths, thêm not vào trước. Nếu đã chỉ ra
điểm yếu, thì đừng quên chỉ ra cách khắc phục.

Examples:
1. I think my limitation is I am not a detail-oriented person. Sometimes I may not pay
attention on small details. To improve it, I have been created a focused space to
minimize distractions.
2. I believe that I need to improve my language ability as I am not a quick language
learner. It takes me double time to get a skill compared to other people.
