What are your weaknesses?
If the interviewer asks about your strengths, they will almost certainly ask about your weaknesses too. Being unable to describe any weaknesses suggests to the interviewer that you lack self-awareness or are a bit egotistical – are you really
saying that you are completely perfect at everything that you do? Pick a couple of minor weaknesses that are of little relevance to the job. For example, if the job involves a lot of contactwith customers and colleagues, then you can say that you get
bored when you have to spend a lot of time working on your own. Or if the job offers you a lot of independence and flexibility, you may argue that one of your weaknesses is that you get very frustrated when you are micro-managed. When discussing your weaknesses, always talk about how you compensate for them, too. Describe the actions or steps that you take to ensure that your weaknesses don’t affect your performance
at work.
