Krista - This is my least favorite question during interviews

So what are my strengths?

One of my greatest attributes would probably be loyalty. If you're my friend, or a loved one, I love you for life. Even when you least deserve it. There are very few exceptions to this rule.

Another would be that I have a great sense of responsibility. If it's on my shoulders, I will handle it. I may cry some, but I take care of what needs to be done.

I make awesome desserts. Seriously.

I learn quickly on most things. New software systems, new fields, new toys that need to be put together. Let me get my hands on it and I will figure it out. And I will own it. Because I don't like things done half way.

I'm honest and highly ethical. My mom taught me a very valuable (and painful!)lesson when I was younger: telling the truth gets you in a lot less trouble than lying and being caught later. Plus lying is so disrespectful to people. They deserve better than that.

I work very hard no matter what I am doing, whether it is at my job, or at home with my son, or even just playing a game. (There is a flip side to this but I'll elaborate when we write about or weaknesses).


I haven't had to answer this question in a long, long time so I am struggling with it. So I cheated and asked Geoff what he thought my strengths were and his response: Loyalty, dependability, family values, and financial sense. Except, don't take that family values to mean hard core conservative christian, because I'm not. But that is a whole other topic for discussion.
