What are examples of strength weeknesses?

Answer 1

So... you are applying for a job and the interviewer asks for one or more examples of your weeknesses. Naturally, you would like to be able to say you have none; but everybody has a weakness. Your actual answer is not going to be the same as mine or anybody else, since it as a question about YOU.

Some people advise giving a strength and pretending to consider it a weakness ("I get so wrapped up in my work that I do more than my share"). This is dishonest, did not really answer the question, and the interviewer will see what a fake you are being.

Better to be prepared to tell a real weakness, then explain how you overcome it the best you can.

For example, "I get so caught up in the details of a project I sometimes forget how those details fit into the big picture. To control this, I make a habit of pausing at least once a day to think about what the company really needs me to accomplish, and how the parts interact. This helps me avoid forgetting some important aspect while looking too closely at another."

Or--one person might say, "I get emotionally fatigued if I have to communicate with other people a hundred percent of the time; this is why I applied for this documentation research job instead of the receptionist." Another person may say just the opposite, and in fact be perfect as a receptionist.
