What are your strengths & weaknesses?
My strength or strongest asset is my work ethic and my willingness to step in immediately. I am always comfortable to do a project part that nobody else wants to do because I feel these challenging bits offer the biggest learning opportunities of all.
I typically love to work beyond pre-set expectations. I also take great pride in my ability to adapt quickly to deliver the best results.
My weakness is that I am an introvert. I hesitate to openly share my ideas in a group setting or speak up during team meetings as I am not always comfortable. A friend pointed out that this was hampering the team’s performance during a college project. I realized I had some good ideas which I could not put forward at the right time.
I have been working on this nature of mine and only recently have started drafting points that I feel are important and I have been sending them across through mails or on a WhatsApp group. That way, I am comfortable discussing my thoughts. It is still a work in progress, but it's something that I've improved dramatically over the past year.
