When you are asked in interview about your strengths then your mind start analyzing yourself and wondering what is most impressive strengths which you should list down during the interview to win the job but have you ever think what strengths are required for the recruiter? have you ever tried to read the recruiter mind to reply exact the same  answer which recruiter want to hear?

We have been discussing tricky interview questions and we have covered questions like:
