You know your strengths and weaknesses means you know yourself to a good extent. After your selection, the company can use your strengths for organizational growth, and the company will avoid assigning tasks in which your weaknesses may frustrate the project.

I want to give an organizational example.
If you are emotional and sensitive to others, then I guess it would be cumbersome for you to terminate or transfer an employee if his or her immediate boss doesn't like him or her and wants to terminate or transfer him or her to a remote place.
Hope you understood.

Ben,
During an interview, when you are asked about your weakness and one strong point, while discussing your weakness, you should bear in mind that it should be something normal and not of a serious nature. Your weakness should be something obvious, a common part of everyone's personality, and should not be something that could significantly impact your work or the organization. Therefore, you have to carefully consider what to say and avoid using a canned or ready-made response. Interviewers may ask follow-up questions in a subtle manner, so it's important to be honest. Trust me, the interviewer will appreciate your honesty.
For your strong point, you can mention something you are very comfortable with and believe you excel at handling efficiently. Think about where your strengths lie. Even though interviewers may ask challenging questions, showcasing your proficiency in that area will leave a positive impression.
This part of the interview is crucial as it puts the ball in your court, allowing the interviewer to observe your facial expressions and body language. Avoid making grand claims about skills you are not adept at. Interviewers simply expect a direct and honest response. Pay attention to both what you say and how you communicate it.
Good luck and best wishes.

Discover the strength behind your weakness. It's paradoxical in approach. For instance, slow thinkers move slowly but are known to be careful, detailed, and meticulous. They are usually better finishers than the quick thinkers. The quick thinkers are easily attractive but most times, small but important details are easily overlooked. So, in a corporate organization, teamwork blends people of diverse strengths and weaknesses. Summarily, sincerely ask yourself what your areas of weakness are and discover the strength behind the weakness.

I believe that you know about your strengths, but regarding weaknesses, you can consider the following points:
Sensitive person: Taking things to heart and becoming too disappointed when things are not done correctly.
Too helpful: Overstepping boundaries while assisting teammates.

What is your strength means what are the positive aspects you have in yourself that make you a good person? How do you make use of those points while dealing with others and in difficult situations? With this strength, how will you influence and support people at the workplace, and how will you make use of your strengths to do your work in the concern.
An example of strength includes positive thinking, self-respect, self-confidence, my smile, time management (keeping up time or doing things on time), team working, etc. So when strength has so many things to do in the workplace and life, obviously, they would like to know what weakness of yours may affect your growth in life and how your weakness may affect your colleagues, which in turn will result in poor productivity or low performance among people in the company.
The fact is all of us have strength and weakness, so we should never hesitate to speak it out. But when you speak about your weakness, you should explain to them the measures you are taking to overcome your weakness. For example, if you say, "I get stressed out fast when the workload is high," then your answer should be, "Normally, I get stressed out fast due to workload, but now I have started meditating every day for the past 2 months, and I can see that I have good control over my stress; now workload is not a pain for me."
Ultimately, the company wants to know if you think practically and come out with a solution to a problem or if you tend to accept the problems without finding any solution and blame it on your fate, etc.
One should not always live with their weakness even after realizing that it's a negative point in their life. We should be smart enough to convert our weakness into strength.
Hope this information would be of use to you.
