ENTRY 2. My computer skills: strengths and weaknesses.

Many people are afraid of this question. We are afraid to look into the mirror, we are afraid to admit our weaknesses.

 However, this question is not as difficult as it seems. Clever job applicants will simply pick a strength that is relevant for the job. Responsibility, analytical thinking, problem solving ability, attention to detail, strong computer skills, etc are a great choice for your desktop support interview. Then you should choose a weakness that is not central for the job. Being impatient, jovial, struggling with management skills, etc. Great desktop support technician does not have to excel in management or leadership. It is just not important for their job. 

Sometimes I want to do everything on my own, and I do not seek help of another person. It often backfires, becasue I can’t eventually solve the problem. But I try to learn to be more humble, and to evaluate the problems before deciding to solve them on my own. On the other hand I have great skills with computers, and can explain difficult things in a simple way, so final users understand my instructions.
