What is the biggest weakness in your personality that you are working on ? What are you doing to overcome it?

Wow, that is a great, great question.\n\nI tend to make inappropriate comments to people I don't know well enough to make them to.  I'm simply trying to think twice (or four times) before saying things.  Or imagine how I would feel if someone said it to me.

Get an education, a job and make something of yourself. I do not believe in constraints only the lack of characterand motivation to overcome them.

My weakness is wanting to do a million things that I could do, but I don't because I am afraid of what others will thing. So, if you used conclusions that we used in my geometry class, if I have a weakness, then it is other people's opinions. I hate when I know I can do something but the fact that other's are watching makes me worried. And I am the one who always tells people that what other's think doesn't matter. My other weakness is ice cream. I love ice cream. I am on a no junkfood diet, but when someone says there's ice cream, I give in. I hate that...

I am in that situation everyday. I have to work with someone that absolutely annoys me and is so difficult to work with. Because I am a mature individual and I want to display professionalism, I have to put my grievances aside in order to get the job at hand done.

Honesty is best. Tell why you fell that way. What traits do you model about them that will benefit the job you are applying for....Stuff like that

Insufficient firepower =)\n\n\nSeriously though... I'm an expert at procrastinating which can really pose a threat since I work for myself.... "I've got ALL day to worry about that.... hmmm, let's see what's going on in Yahoo! Answers."\n\nThe fortunate flipside is that I work great under pressure, so when it comes down to deadlines I rise to the challenge. \n\nI guess you could say I'm getting where I want to be, but I might be getting there more quickly if I forced myself to be more disciplined. But then again, I believe life is a journey, not a destination... so I may as well have fun along the way! See how well I can rationalize these things?

I've conducted about 500 interviews on candidates and what we are looking for is\n1) Integrity\n2) Honesty\n3) Can do attitude\n4) A person that is effective\n5) the person who is likely to be the most successful in a position.\n\nThat being said, in the case of asking what is your weakness, tell the interviewer something that is a weakness of yours, but follow up by stating what you are doing to overcome that weakness.\n\nFor instance, one of the people mentioned procrastination. If you are a procrastinator, share what you are doing to ensure you will get things done on time.\n\nPeople who answer this question without admitting to any type of weakness are quickly bypassed by me because they have just shot their credibility with me. If they cannot admit they have any type of a weakness, this is a signal to me that this person will never admit when they make a mistake and will avoid the truth. They also may have difficulty working in a team setting because they sound like they have an ego problem.\n\nSo your best bet is to answer this honestly.\n\nLying may get you the job, but if you lie on the interview and the find out, they can terminate you, or at the least, you have damaged your credibility.

I think U just need more self esteem and confidence in yourself, and learn( and I mean learn) how to love yourself and realize that U R a special person! also, learn patience!\nI think U communicate very well judging from your writing.

One of the more tricky ones is "Tell me some of your weaknesses."\nSome folks tend to ramble on and reveal too much that shoots them down.  The best way is to turn this into a strength.  For example...\n"I guess my biggest area that I need to improve on is my drive to succeed.  I am very hard on myself when I don't live up to my own high expectations and I just need to understand that I'm not always going to be able to hit a homerun."\n\nYou turn what might be a weakness into a strength showing your drive to succeed in this example that an interviewer might like to note as a positive thing to have.\n\nHope that helps.

Identify your weakness first & then work on strengthening them.

Just be yourself. I know its hard to do but find the strength too. I know you can.

Hmmmm.....Here I am analyzing before I write. Sometimes I think it is my best, yet worse trait. My friends say it is the Libra in me. I have to weigh both sides of every issue before taking a stand. But once I do, I firmly stick to my guns. I suppose I take such time analyzing that I'm confident once I make my decision to speak. Yep....I'm definitely an analyzer. :)

All the time.  \nI have a superiority complex \n(I'm not joking.  It's a problem I've been trying to work on for years. But it's hard.)

Lack of self discipline, just like me! I'm at uni too and answering this question. LOL

oh, that is a very hard question , but i am going to say forgive myself. i tend to have a shorter memory when it comes to others, i have to live with myself. i never can seem to escape my mistakes and they can play repetitively in my head, making forgetting impossible sometimes.

I have a few suggestions on overcoming your problems.\n\nYou need to love yourself for the person you are, tell yourself daily that you are strong and confident (preferably when you feel the least). Everyone is unique. Everyone is different. Good posture might help with your confidence, it sends a confident vibe.. \n\nTry acting confident for a day, you'll see you might actually like it.. and it's not as difficult to pick it up after a while as it sounds.\nSometimes you might feel a little cheesy but it will really help.\n\nAs for the concentration.. work on developing patience and listening skills. If you are genuinely interested in what a person has to say, it is easier to listen. Or you could try tapping one finger on your leg, I know someone who does this. (discreetly though) Don't make it look like you are impatient. \n\nI hope this helps

An example of the best way to handle this question: "I tend to be a bit disorganized, so I compensate by keeping a priority list of everything I need to do and don't allow myself to ignore it." Any time you admit to a weakness, make sure you explain how you've overcome or compensated for it. ( I was a Personnel Manager for two very large corporations and conducted literally thousands of interviews. )
