During job interviews the questions “What are your strengths?” and “What are your weaknesses?” are often put forward to job applications. Addressing this blog from an interview point of view, I would respond by mentioning that I bring to the job portfolio extensive knowledge, skills and expertise in the area of public relations, customer service, communication, education, arts and culture, environment and tourism.
In terms of my strength:
1. I am passionate, dedicated, committed and prepared to work myself to the
bone in the things I believe in.
2. I am further blessed with an excellent long-term memory.
In answering the question, ‘One’s greatest strength is also one’s greatest weakness’, I believe that in this regard the corresponding weakness would be:
3. I refuse to give in when I believe strongly about something (with
reference to my commitment to pursue the Edutrain project)
4. I am constantly trying to do too much and consistently striving for the
highest quality of work (relating to ‘working myself to the bone’)
5. Despite the reputation and being admired for having an excellent long term
memory, my short term memory, particularly relating to telephone numbers
and keys, remains an ongoing challenge.
In conclusion, I believe one should continuously strive to find balance between these two extremes so that they work in harmony in the best interest of the individual, the work environment and in one’s home and family life.
I believe in your conclusion. Although its very important to me to have a career and make the best out of the skills that i'll learn, i also believe that this isn't what life is all about. There's so much more.
