Recommended Answer
Honesty has my trademark for years. I think that could be both strength and weakeness. I have never mixed company business with my personal interest. Everyone believe that one must be honest, but some people do not want to apply the same rule to them. It is difficult for me to work with someone who mixes his personal interest with his work. When it happens to be my fellow employee, it is not going to be easy to respect him.
Never say
Well, I do not have anything particular as strength but I am fairly O.K. To answer the weakness part, I may say it is difficult for me to work with people who are not intelligent.
