Discussion on: How do you respond to "What is tour greatest strength/weakness?" In interviews?

I frame them in terms of their stated expectations for the position.

For example:

"I have anger issues when I feel like I'm being taken advantage of" is something I say in therapy.

"While I have strong experience of using databases via an ORM, I don't have any direct experience with SQL — as stated as a requirement of the role. That'll be an area of growth for me. But I'm quite in the other stated requirements" is something I'd say in an interview.

For the strengths, all any manager types want to here is that you get stuff out on time — despite challenges 😅
