You DON'T want to say that you don't have a weakness - because you'll sound full of yourself.  And don't say "I work too hard" - because you'll sound like a suck up.  Think about something that you've improved on recently - something you've turned around.  Then - answer the question by saying something like - "Well - just six months ago I would have said that it was my ability to delegate authority - but I worked really hard with my mentor on that - - and I've learned how important it is to let go of some of the control and count on my co-workers and utilize my time in more important ways to benefit the company - and you know, delegating authority is not that much of a problem anymore at all."  That way - you admit that you HAD a weakness - but turned it into a positive thing.\n\nThere are lots of steps to acing an interview.  Be on time - dress professionally - and make sure you've done your homework about the company you want to work for (know about their products, services and history).  Bring an extra copy of your resume (that way if they've misplaced it - you have it there for them)  But truly - HONESTY is the best way to ace an interview.  If you are not honest- you'll wind up in a work situation where you don't feel comfortable - and you don't want that job anyway.

Have him(or her) include your eagerness and willingness for knowledge. Mention what you have learned and what you contribute. And add your good personality traits. That you mix well with all. Are you timely and orderly? do you have a caring nature? And he should add (or she) how well he(she) thinks you will do in the future what ever path you choose.

My husband has been at his job for 5 yrs now. \nHe is very conscientious on the job. \nHe does the job without complaining. \nHe is a team player. \nHe is very responsible, respectful and mindful of the other employees. \nIf he makes a mistake he admits to it freely. \nIf he has questions, he asks them BEFORE and not AFTER.

Well......keep following the rules But Do Not and I repeat Do Not follow your co-workers around telling them how they are not following the rules and also don't be a "tattle tale".   Nobody likes working with someone like that. And as Crazy as it sounds just because you follow all the rules to a T it doesn't mean that You are more productive or a more valuable employee than someone who may bend them sometimes. Just focus on your own work and what you do and you won't have time to worry about who is following the rules.    Good Luck.

Simply believe in yourself. You could do anything just as good or better than any other person, if you really wanted to.\n\nTake TV commercials for example, you've seen some pretty stupid ones before, right? And you probably thought, "I could do a better job than that!"\nAnd more than likely, you could!!\nAnd so it is, with most everything.

It all depends on your boss.  does he know that he is ineffectual?  If so, you can feed him ideas.  Use social engineering to help him on his way.  Having no backbone is a common trait in state jobs.  No one dares make any waves!!!  If they are kind to you, dont force them to be the wave maker.  You don't want them to stress about job security.  Read dilbert cartoons religiously.  Pay tithe to Scott Adams, for the ideas expressed by his cartoons will only help you on your journey.

I find it best to be very positive every minute of the day.  Sucking-up to the person who does the promoting also , sadly helps.  Don't gossip or listen to gossip.  Talk about events, places, things, but NEVER people. If you deal w/customers or clients, constantly go over & beyond the call of duty... it will get back to your supervisor.  Good Luck

Best way is through good communication.  If the client always feels like he or she knows what you are doing and why, when it is likely to happen, and what are the potential outcomes, he is much more satisfied with you.  On top of that, you should do your best to know the client, make him or her feel like your remember him or her, work personal details about both the client and yourself into your conversations, but don't go overboard.  I've always though clients appreciate a representative who is comfortable as talks to them as an equal, rather than seeming wither 1) a superior professional "just leave this to the people who know" or 2) an overeager person desperate for their business "Whatever you say, sir, anything else I can do sir, etc."

Oh yes, I have had one in almost every job I've had. They are called "a pain in the neck!" and are found in every place of work. I try not to let them wind me up and ignore them as much as I can. Another good tactic is to say, " Yes your right - what a brilliant way of doing it!" and just continue to do what ever you need to do to get the job done properly. Basically, these people are insecure and need to feel that they are better than anyone else.

Well you will always remain in the situation you are in.....struggling to get by....you know why?  Because you spend way too much energy on conjuring up a lie rather than focusing on the truth.  His boss probably isn't a jerk.  People have businesses to run....they need dependable people....not liars!  Grow up, accept responsibility for your irrisponsible behavior.....People do on occassion oversleep....Bosses understand and accept this from honest, loyal and hard workers.  I'm a boss, and have  had some real great workers share this with me and guess what?  I have much more respect for them because they were HONEST with me.  This way, I know they have integrity!

It is a funny thing, they say, about bosses.  What they say is seldom what they mean, even if they mean what they say.  \n\nAsking a person for an honest opinion is still in hope that the opinion will be good.  \n\nWhat I would encourage you to do is be honest, but be positive.  I would focus overwhelmingly on the positive attributes, but be honest about ways to help his business succeed (assuming he owns the business), or ways to become an "even better boss".  Feel free to add in a touch of humor, if that will lighten the mood, (such as, "I know you have it tough dealing with an employee with me, but").  \n\nIf there are some tough things you really want to say, let him know your intentions in answering the questions upfront (I have grown to appreciate and trust you and your wife, and will answer as honestly as I can in hopes of helping you get ahead).  That would mean a lot to me if I had handed you the questionnaire.
