Your single biggest professional strength

Question

What would you say is your greatest strength?

Short answer

Name one strength relevant to the job and prove it with a concrete example. A strength like quickly learning new quantitative tools or staying accurate under time pressure is more convincing than generic claims of being hard-working. Show the impact it had on a result.
