There are Do's and Don'ts to keep in mind as you plan your response: 1. Don't list numerous, ambiguous strengths. 2. Don't be overly modest or undervalue yourself. 3. Don't exaggerate your abilities or lie about them. 4. Do provide clear, relevant examples to back up your response. 5. Do concentrate on one or two important qualities that are directly related to the role. 6. Do make sure your skills complement the job description and set you out as a candidate. 7. Do convert your weaknesses into problems you've overcome, and your strengths into the reasons you're a good fit for the job.
