Strengths
This type of question give you an opportunity to sell yourself. This can sometimes be difficult for modest people who haven’t had a lot of practice talking about themselves. Below are four strengths I think compliment a job in banking.
●A strong attention to detail
In banking, attention to detail keeps your supervisors and clients happy. Referring to a big project you completed can help drive this trait home. For example, last semester I was faculty-selected to present my working paper on the CRA industry at Princeton. My audience was a group of highly educated professors, so you can be sure I made my paper and presentation error free.
●Having the ability to learn quicky
I’m proud of my accomplishments, but am always looking to improve. Learning is not compulsory, but neither is survival. Financial certifications or training courses that you have independently earned can be used as good supporting examples.
●Working hard
Some deals take longer than 9 months to close. That means you can work longer on a deal that a woman’s pregnancy. Determination to work thousands of hours on a deal is a crucial to succeeding. My interview example is about the month and a half I spent raising $200,000 for my start-up. During that time, I had to create presentation materials, pitch, negotiate, and compile due diligence information with an average of five hours of sleep a night.
●Being a team player
Working well in a team is another relevant skill. I will talk more about this one in my teamwork and leadership post. Regardless, my example takes place during Spring Break when I pitched a stock with three other students from my University. Other case competitions or group projects are also great examples.
The answers above work well when asked how your professors or other professionals would describe you. When asked what your best friend thinks? I would as use more informal adjectives like ambitious, helpful, and attentive, while supplementing each word with a descriptive sentence.
