3. What Are Your Weaknesses?
Answer Strategy: Mention a genuine weakness, but follow it up with how you are working to improve it.

4. Why Do You Want to Work Here?
Answer Strategy: Research the company beforehand and align your values and goals with theirs.
Example Answer: “I admire your commitment to sustainability and innovative approaches to design. I want to be part of a team that prioritizes environmentally friendly practices while pushing creative boundaries. Your recent project on sustainable packaging resonates with my values and expertise.”
5. Describe a Challenge You Faced at Work and How You Overcame It.
