3. Whats your pro and cons/ What makes you outstanding ?

• I am sure most of us can answer the pro part with good explanation. But the most important part that defines you, is your cons. So, try to come up with a cons, which can both deteriorate and benefits yourself. For example, " My cons is i am a perfectionist; because of that i usual get stressed and concerned with minor details, but however this behavior of me also helps me to be outstanding with great product.
