Why must you know you strengths and weaknesses?

Answer 1

You should be knowledgeable about your strengths and weaknesses because these will serve as your edge among the other candidates when you're applying for a job. Your interviewer will look at your strengths and weaknesses as his basis for the success of your application. He is also trying to find out in this question how well you do you know yourself. He is trying to find out if you can be an asset for the organization or company and if you really deserve to be a part of it.

You should really think of your greatest strength and weaknesses before applying for a job. Be sure that you'll be able to communicate with this effectively. Another tip is not to "down" yourself or say too much negative things in your "weakness" part, be sure to support your answer for your weakness and tell the interviewer that you are eager to change and work with it.
