    How to Answer Strengths and Weakness Interview Questions as a Nurse

    How to Answer Strengths and Weakness Interview Questions as a Nurse

    In nursing interviews, one question that often catches candidates off guard is about strengths and weaknesses. While it may seem like a simple question, it holds significant weight in the decision-making process.
    In this episode, we're going to discuss a common interview question we all have heard before: "Can you tell us about your strengths and weaknesses as a nurse?" Now, this question is all about self-awareness, so don't be scared of it!
    I'm going to walk you through a neat little approach to tackle it head-on. Stick to this approach, and trust me, you'll shine in your interviews by showing not just your self-awareness, but also your dedication to always improving.
    Key takeaways:
    01:38 The intention behind asking the question is to assess self-awareness
    02:09 Common mistakes in answering the question with generic and vague responses
    02:44 Approach to preparing for the question: start with weaknesses and finish with strengths
    03:19 Choose a weakness that is not essential for the role or show improvement in a weakness
    04:43 Example of weakness and how it has been addressed or improved
    05:13 Example of weakness for a clinical nurse educator position
    06:18 Example of weakness for a nurse manager position
    07:44 Importance of providing proof for strengths and using specific examples

Dex Randall Burnout Coach ,

High quality support for nurses

hey Liam, delighted to listen to your podcast - great variety, quality content and interviews. I'm so thrilled you're supporting nurses, because so many nurses come to me unable to maintain the 'High Performance' they would like to, worn down as they are in burnout. You're doing a great job brother!
Enjoyed speaking with you too.

So helpful!

5 stars all the way!!
I’ve never felt more prepared going into an interview. After listening to the preparing for interview podcasts it was the first time I ever took notes in & I felt so much more confident!
The realness (& lovely accent) makes it an easy listen. 👌🏻

Scored two job offers after listening to your podcast!

Thank you Liam for your wonderful podcast. I particularly found the episodes about job applications and job interviews useful. After three years in a job I was no longer passionate about, hated going to every day and, I found myself becoming progressively more anxious and depressed. I finally bit the bullet and applied for something totally new! Selling myself in a job application and interview has always been a struggle for me but after listening to your podcast about addressing selection criteria and interviewing for a position - I was offered an interview for both (dream) jobs I applied for, aced both interviews and scored two job offers! It was just the confidence I needed. Now I just need to work out which offer I’m going to accept!
