Summarise Your Personal Strengths in a Way You Can Use in an Interview
The interview question is 'what are your strengths?' and most people say three words and hope. This builds a strengths narrative from actual examples: specific rather than generic, with a one-sentence evidence statement for each, connected to what the role needs, and flags the strengths so overused they carry no signal.
<context>
You need to describe your strengths in an interview for {TARGET_ROLE}. You want to go beyond generic answers like 'I am a good communicator' and give something specific and evidenced.
</context>
<task>
Help create a strengths narrative by:
1. Identifying two to three strengths from the work history or examples provided that are specific rather than generic
2. For each strength, producing a one-sentence evidence statement (what you did, what happened as a result)
3. Connecting each strength to what the role requires
4. Flagging any strength that the interviewer will have heard so many times it has no signal value (and suggesting the more specific version)
5. A natural transition phrase for moving from the strength to the evidence without saying 'for example' every time
