    Everyone panics over strengths-weaknesses questions. Think of it as "What do I most enjoy doing and least enjoy doing?" In those answers are your strengths and weaknesses. For example: Perhaps you like cleaning and being independent in doing your work. You might apply for a hotel cleaner. Or, you might enjoy making internet apps and games. You've studied and used different types of coding and like to both work independently and as part of a team.
