A - Your answer should be: more responsibility or better opportunity or similar. Not: because it is closer to home or the gym.

Q - What are your strengths?

A - You should highlight accomplishments and experiences that relate to the position for which you are applying. Also, give examples of situations where your strengths have been demonstrated.

Q - What are your weaknesses?
