Mary3 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Please name some good and bad answers to this question at a job interview : What are your Weaknesses ? Link to post Share on other sites
Trialbyfire Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 One of my weaknesses is the determination to complete a project, at the cost of sleep. Not hitting milestones and completing projects by deadline, are issues that just aren't acceptable. Link to post Share on other sites
SadandConfusedWA Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I tend to end up sleeping with the boss [this is for when the future boss is interviewing you ] .....I kid, I kid. Link to post Share on other sites
New Again Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Most people tell you to take a strength and make it sound like it's a weakness (like being too dedicated, too hardworking, etc.), but IME the best answer is one that WAS a true weakness in the past (but not too bad, and maybe not really something that is directly related to the job you're interviewing for), and then explaining what you did to improve, so it's not a problem anymore.

New Again Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Most people's strengths, are their weaknesses. I think you're giving people the benefit of the doubt, and too much credit. Though granted, I'm feeling pretty frustrated with my employees right now. Link to post Share on other sites
