あなたの長所と短所を教えてくださいって英語でなんて言うの？

When being asked about what their strengths and weaknesses are, most prospective employees get intimidated, especially where their weaknesses are concerned. No one would like to expose their weaknesses. However, it is imperative that the prospective employer should know about the prospective employee's strengths and weaknesses or areas of improvement. Strengths are those things that the prospective employee excels in and weaknesses are those things that he/she thinks hamper his/her ability to perform well. It is ideal not to combine the question. It's better to ask about strengths on their own and weaknesses on their own. So, you may ask: So, tell us. What are your strengths? After the candidate has answered this question, you may then ask: What are your weaknesses or areas of improvement?

This question seems like a bit of cliche these days as it is quite unimaginative. However, without doubt some people still recycle this old set of questions: When she's asked, "What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?" Francine responds, "My strength is that I'm a hard worker. My weakness is that I get stressed when I miss a deadline because someone else dropped the ball." This question may be rephrased as an alternative: "What do you do really badly?" or, "What do you do really well?" "Well, I get on really well with people."

All of the above are questions an interviewer could ask of a potential new employee. I have had all of these questions asked of me in interviews.

The sentences above can be used to ask someone about their strengths and weaknesses. The last sentence is the most specific and can be divided into two questions. This is a great question to ask at an interview and it always gets applicants thinking. Usually, people have a general idea of their strengths and weaknesses but it can still be a little unnerving for the applicant when it comes to answering. Unnerving: uncomfortable Divide: to split/break into two parts.

Here some examples from my real interviews. I was asked the same questions in different ways. For example - what are your weakest side? As an employer, I need to know this information for future decision

"What would you say your greatest strength is?... Your greatest weakness?" - "What would you say..." is asking someone to think about and say their opinion on something. e.g. "What would you say is the greatest pop song of 2016?" Once you say the phrase "What would you say..." you don't have to repeat for the second question that follows the first one. e.g. "Who would you say your best friend is?... Your second closest?... Your least best friend?" It's like making a list of questions, so you don't have to repeat the initial phrase... you can just keep adding on to the list.
