STRENGTH BASED INTERVIEW QUESTIONS and ANSWERS! (How To PASS a Strengths-Based Interview!)

WHAT IS A STRENGTH-BASED INTERVIEW?
Strength-based questions are becoming more common during interviews, and they are used as a way to assess how your core qualities and abilities are a match for the job you are being interviewed for.

On the surface, strength-based interview questions appear to be very easy to answer; however, they are in fact quite difficult to respond to, simply because the interviewer is looking for a specific response that matches the person specification.

Like how comprehensive this video was. You explained everything so well. There are no "random" questions. Always respond in a way that shows how you will add value to the employer.

[martyntozer]

Thank you! This has really given me a confidence boost and allowed me to identify my own strengths. Great to see the type of answer and also how long the answer should be, I’m always concerned I may talk too much to try an cover everything. This have given me great clarity. Thanks

[hamzahmalik]

Just had my first ever strength based interview and I used your techniques which gave me a confident boost because the questions they asked were so out of the blue but I had the basics to cover. Will keep you updated if I get the job but thank you Richard definitely helped me with my nerves and have more confidence in my answers!

Hi Richard, I just wanted to take the time to thank you for your guidance as I've found your videos an invaluable resource helping me to prep for today (my first Civil Service interview is coming up in just a few hrs). I have, over the past few weeks, watched and studied your assessments of the interview process and visited your website.
I am a first-time applicant for the role but it's interesting to see the overlap in relevant experiences from my prior work experiences. The nerves are now amping up a bit as it's drawing closer... but I'd be a lot worse off were it not for your excellent insight.
Whatever the outcome is, I can't thank you enough.

[alexkajuba]

I used the 17 questions you sold for £7.99. I just passed my interview. Thanks Richard👍

[DavidRojas-oucy]

Richard is good at how to answer the interview questions. I will use this knowledge on my next interview.Thanks for the share.

[jbelly]

I got the job 🙌 there were 30 positions going and I got the result around 5 weeks after my interview

[Polyskill]

Fantastic indeed. I strongly appreciate your exceptionally awesome effort to support prospect interviewees.

[teslafirechallenge]

Thank You. I appreciate your videos very much. All the BEST.

When someone brings cakes into the office😂 😂. I mean that would tell me that they'd have a good sense of humour, are pleasant to be around, and potentially good at building a positive rapport with colleagues on a more personal level, which is healthy in a team. I really don't get why some interviews have to be so over the top sugar-coated and formal. For me it can easily come across as fake or just put on, but each to their own.

[subhashchawla]

I highly appreciate this is a great teaching

[bandana]

Thanks for this.. got me thinking about phrasing my answers to my personal life

[bigbad]

It's a bit crazy though when you think about it how someone who doesn't really have these qualities can just learn this and lie to get the job. I think it would be better if interviews were scrapped all together and based on your qualifications you were given a couple of weeks trial period

[GiZeeGis]

Will it be advisable to give examples on some of these questions and use the start method?

[TanyaKanchevaLondon]

Thanks for this useful video Richard. How they actually evaluate those answers, and how they calculate the score? I was asked last week during my interview - What do I enjoy doing in my spare time and I answered: cycling, spending time with my dog and walking around nature outdoors. Is this good enough answer. I was wondering how they decide if this is good answer. Thanks!

[ravenmccaulsky]

are there any videos for interviews for phone companies (EE, carphone warehouse, O2 etc)?

[aclegendary]

Hi, Is it required to give examples and scenarios of how you demonstrated something in a strength based interview?

[luisaortega]

How would you convince a difficult stakeholder to provide money into a different department?

[jneatv]

Can you do a tfl customer service application and interview questions

[izientertainment]

For these can we use the STAR method to answer the questions??
