It's quite possibly the most difficult interview question you'll be faced with. So, I wrote an article that breaks down exactly how to position and present your weakness to a potential employer.
Believe it or not, about 75% of the people I interviewed (and I interviewed well over 1,000) answered the question with one of these two responses:
- I work too hard
- I'm a perfectionist
These are arguably the lamest answers in the history of interviewing.
Believe me, employers are not going to believe that you work "too hard".
However, there is a much better way to answer this question: I explain specifically what you need to know to ace this question in the free advice section of our website.
And here's a great opportunity for you: I'd love to help you position your weaknesses into something that will actually improve your interview. Simply comment on this post (below) or send us a message on Twitter with your true weakness that you hesitate to tell employers. We'll pick some of the best to highlight as "before and after" examples in a future blog post.
For more help, we can also conduct mock interview sessions to prepare you for your next job interview. Visit JobBound.com for more information.
