This question is simply a spin on the question of “Describe your strengths and weaknesses”. It tests your ability to reflect on your own development needs. A good answer would highlight three strengths and three development areas.

For strengths, try to focus on areas that relate to the consulting competencies (e.g. problem-solving, teamwork, communications, client impact) and for weaknesses be careful not to highlight ‘fatal flaws’ (e.g. I am totally disorganised or hopeless with maths!). Good answers frame a weakness as a strength or highlight strong self-awareness and indicate how you are addressing this. (e.g. I can sometimes be too detail oriented. I am aware of this and am taking steps to ensure I regularly stand back from the detail to take stock of the bigger picture).

My team-members, or my friends because at the moment I don´t have experience, is that my strengths are that I am good in working in teams, because of my way how I communicate and want to know all ideas before deciding a final option.

My colleagues always say about me that I am good listener and try to integrate and hear all team members even shy persons who are not easy for them to talk. I am methodical and structured.

I am an optimist and positive person in hard times I push the team to work and not to feel down in critical moments.

I received this comment from my previous manager. I am a hardworker but I am too detail-oriented as well as I always want all the work to be done in a short period by looking at the whole details and it is impossible to do it. Therefore, I am working on that by defining priorities and what is necessary and have to be done.

During my work and class assignments, I always get good feedback that I am a hard worker, kind, self-starter, try to help others, passionate, and never give up. I think these are good criteria that make me a good team player, and I am always willing to improve my skills to be a better team player.
