T hink
about the personality traits that make you apt for the job

you are
punctual, ambitious (means you can meet targets), a good team player, have good conversation skills etcetera. As far as your weaknesses are concerned, try to keep them work related.

It is a bad idea to tell your potential employer that you plan to go for his or her job, but it is okay to mention that you¶d like to earn a senior or management position.
