個人能力是面試中必問的問題之一。面試官通常會問你對自己能力的評價，優點、缺點、成就等等。回答問題的時候注意一定要簡潔、說到點子上，不要一說到自己就談個沒完或是背簡歷。也不要說一些太浮的詞。下面是Ben和Tom對面試官的回答，相信對大家都有借鑑意義。
Dialogue 1
Watson: What is your greatest strength? Ben: I think I am very good at planning. I manage my time perfectly so that I can always get things done on time. Watson: What are your weak points? Ben: When I think something is right, I will stick to that. Sometimes it sounds a little stubborn but I am now trying to find a balance between insistence and compromise. Watson: What are your greatest accomplishments? Ben: Although I feel my greatest accomplishments are still ahead of me, I am proud of my involvement with the International Business Conference '93 project. I made my contribution as part of that team and learned a lot in the process. Watson: Can you work under pressure? Ben: Yes, I find it stimulating. However, I believe in planning and proper management of my time to reduce panic deadlines.
Notes：
1. What is your greatest strength?你最大的優點是什麼？記住，這裡問的是最大的優點，而不是讓你羅列出你的全部優點。
2.要挑一條你認為最能吸引考官的優點來說。What are your weak points?你的弱點是什麼，Ben回答說如果他認為某事是正確的，他就會堅持己見，但是他現在正想辦法改變這種固執的脾氣。這裡不僅要告訴考官自己的缺點，還要告訴考官自己正在改正這個缺點，這能給人留下知錯就改的好印象。
3.考官繼續問What are your greatest accomplishments?你最大的成就是什麼？Ben很謙虛，他說"我認為我的最大成就還未出現"，I feel my greatest accomplishments are still ahead of me.他接著又描述了自己在"九三國際商務會議"這個活動中的表現和收穫。
4. Can you work under pressure?你可以在壓力下工作嗎？因為工作的壓力是不可避免的，所以考官想知道你在工作壓力方面的想法。Ben的回答很好，他說，壓力可以轉化為動力，而且只要正確利用時間，壓力是可以克服的。這句話大家也可以直接拿來用。
Dialogue 2
Snow: What are your strong points? Tom: I have very strong powers of observation. I can generate interesting ideas from minor things and once the idea is formed, I have strong urge to put it into action. Snow: What is your weakness? Tom: I always give each job my best, so when others are not pulling their weight, I become frustrated. Snow: Are you more of a follower or a leader? Tom: I don't try to go ahead of people and lead them. I'd rather cooperate with everybody else, and get the job done by working together. Snow: How do you deal with those who you think are difficult to deal with? Tom: I stick to my principles and keep to the rules. Sometimes, they just lack enthusiasm and I get them involved with something constructive. Some of them later change their attitudes.
Notes：
1. What are your strong points?也是詢問「你的優點是什麼？」2. What is your weakness?和What are your weak points?一樣。回答這個問題的時候，大家不要傻傻地把自己的缺點就說出去了，說的不好可能就此毀掉了一個好offer。在選擇缺點的時候，要選擇那些正面看是優點、反面看是缺點的。比如Tom回答的他工作太勤奮、太忘我，對於一個公司來說，員工工作勤奮肯定是會受到肯定的，勤奮帶來的小小問題公司也能夠理解，至少不會在面試的時候就把你pass掉。
