Perfect Phrase:“My strengths are my attitude and my
flexibility. I am known for my ability to get the job done;
done right; and done on time. I do whatever it takes to
fulfill my commitment to deliver.”

your words lose their impact. By making a more defi-
nite, stronger statement with some punch, your words
are more likely to impress.

for details, but sometimes when I am in the middle of

prioritize what has to be done. I make lists and do
spreadsheets so that I don’t miss any anything. This
really helps me remember important details as well as
the not-so-important details.”

Note:Tr y putting a positive spin on your weakness and
tell what you’ve learned or are learning to improve on
a weakness.


  1. What is your salary expectation?


Perfect Phrase:“When the time comes to talk money,
I am sure that we will come up with a mutually benefi-
cial amount. Could you tell me the range budgeted for
the position?”
