How To Handle The Question "What Are Your Greatest Weaknesses" In Interviews
Debra Davenport (Executive Professional Mentor, Licensed Career Counselor & Employment Agent) gives expert on How do I handle the question, "What are your greatest weaknesses"?
I love the question "What are your greatest weaknesses?" because it's a trick question which traps a lot of people. A lot of people feel that they have to answer the question of where their weaknesses lie by stating things that they truly are not good at, and that's not true. We want to spin this question around into a positive. So perhaps try saying things like, "One of my greatest weaknesses is that I don't have a lot of patience for work that isn't done in a timely manner, or work that isn't done to very high levels of excellence, which I'm committed to in my own work." So things like that will help to put a positive spin on what could be potentially a very dangerous question. So rehearse those questions and your answers very carefully ahead of time, before you even get into that interview.

我非常喜歡這個(gè)問題,因?yàn)樗且粋(gè)棘手的問題,其中陷阱很多。很多人覺得,他們必須回答的問題,他們的弱點(diǎn)在于說明的東西,他們是真正的不擅長(zhǎng),這不是真的。我們要轉(zhuǎn)移到這個(gè)問題的一個(gè)積極的范圍內(nèi)。因此,或許說這樣的話,“我最大的弱點(diǎn)之一是,我沒有很多的耐心工作,或者是我沒有很出色的完成工作,這個(gè)工作是我自己承諾的。“因此這樣的事情,這將有助于把積極的自旋,這可能是一個(gè)潛在的非常危險(xiǎn)的問題。因此,在你面試之前,這些問題和你的答案要非常仔細(xì)提前排練。
