What is your strength and weakness?
I have passion on event industry. This is important because this sector need to work on high pressure environment. If I don’t like it; it is hard to keep this career. I had little bit work experience in logistics and financial department, so I have budget and analyzing skills. Than can help me get used to this role quickly.

I learn event management form the UK, China has its own event system so I need time put my knowledge into work environment. To see what is different from the UK and China. Other weakness is I am new in this sector, my colleague and I are in the different level, so sometimes it would bother me. But I believe I can fix this problem as soon as I can. I am quick leaner so it’s not a big problem.

My strengths:
communication skills/media relationships – In my previous job/occupation/position, I would communicate with the media frequently/on a daily basis/constantly and when we had an event I needed to effectively and quickly communicate with the media, clients, vendors, celebrities…
project management – PR has a lot of events to run, sometimes 2 events in one month. So we need to arrange the event well.

My weaknesses:
lack of experience in marketing > I’ve spent 2 years/most of my time in PR which hasn’t allowed for ample time to develop my marketing skills.
My PR experience can help me understand what is marketing – My PR experience will help me progress/improve/advance my marketing skills/abilities
I’m a quick learner. In my previous work I need to learn how to do the magazine lay out. I learned that quick.

Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control. (informal, very direct, not super polite)
