Recruiting season has officially begun! When I was preparing for my first career fair years ago, I had a thousand questions I wanted to ask regarding networking, hunting the right companies, resume writing and interview etiquette. I wanted to reach out to someone who had been in my shoes recently and was now killing it at a job they love. But beyond the on-campus career center resource and reading some career tips online, my options were limited.
I am therefore launching the “Dream Job Bootcamp” on www.pinkcareers.com. Over the next 6 weeks, I will cover a variety of topics related to job search through blog posts, worksheets, relevant readings and a weekly Facebook Live. Whether you are applying for your first internship or looking to jump ship, these resources will make your job search easier, faster and most importantly, successful!
One of the most common questions that I have heard being asked in interviews, and have asked several times myself is ‘What is your greatest strength’. In this post, I explain what the interviewer really wants to know when they ask you about your biggest strengths, how to answer the question, as well as walk you through a sample answer, that you can use to tailor for your specific situation.
