what are your weaknesses on job interviews?
413802
You want your weaknesses to be your strengths as well.  You can say I tend to be too detail oriented, but not so much that I lose sight of the big picture.

Do research on the company you are applying for.\nDress appropriately and professionally.\nDon't use slang words, trendy words, or acronyms,when speaking to any one at the company, even the Secretary.\nDon't answer any interview questions spontaneously, take your time and think about what you are saying.\nDon't talk about your relationships, children, or personal beliefs.\nDon't fidget, chew gum, or look around the room nervously.  Speak to the interviewer and have good eye contact.\nAlways remember: never do or say any thing that you are ashamed of. People talk, there may be someone there that worked with you once, or had some other connection to you.

This is one of the more difficult questions you will face as no one really wants to own up on their weak points. However, weaknesses too can be strengths if put correctly. The key to the best answer here is to stay fixed on the positive aspect, while minimizing the trait. For example, you could say 'I am sometimes too much concerned with details but I have learnt that delegation solves this aspect and I am using it often'. Your weakness should come out as a problem which is almost solved not a critical and hopeless trait that cannot be helped.\n\nmore details on http://www.cvtips.com/personal_strengths_weaknesses_interview.html

Do you want to be honest, or do you want to get the job?\nIf honest, answer honestly.  Tell them what your true weaknesses are, and ask that they mentor you to help you overcome them.\n\nIf you want to get the job, however, you have two choices:\n1) Answer with a weakness you used to have, that you already overcame.  Example: "My weakness was that I was not proficient with Microsoft Word, and therefore took longer to create documents.  However, I have since taken a course to raise my proficiency, and I have overcome that weakness."\n2) Answer with a weakness that is not really a weakness the company cares about.  Examples: "I get so involved in my work that I forget about my personal life."  "I'm a perfectionist, so I don't let less than correct items go from my desk."  Things like that.

First of all truth is what is needed in every interview. there is no need lying when they will find out.\n\nIf you have a weakness let the employer know that while making him also know that you are very smart and quick to learn./ and you are willing ot learn. if he wwill give you this chance he will not regret it. \n\nMake him see reason that your weakness should not a handicap to your job but thta you cana lsways do your best.\n\nMake him also know taht if you get this job you will improve in your language and communcation skills because its what you naturally love. and you will do every effort to study within record time

Actually it would look like you were prepared and set you apart from 90% of the other people they will interview that day. I interview a lot of people. The things many of them do wrong:\nThey don't bring a copy of their resume with them.\nThey don't dress up. (Jeans are NEVER acceptable for an interview)\nThey don't remove their hat (for guys)\nThey don't turn off their cell phones or worse they answer them during the interview!\nThey cannot answer simple questions about previous jobs or job experience.\nThey smell bad.\nThey say "um" or "you know" every other word.\nThey chew gum.\nThey trash their former employers.\nThey can't answer the question "Why should we hire you?"\nThey don't ask any questions about the job. (The best question to ask an interviewer is what THEY are looking for in the person that takes that position. Then point to specific experience you have either in work or life that makes YOU the best canidate.)\nThey don't look at you during the interview. Not making eye contact makes people think you are shady.\n\nHope this helps! Good luck!

the greatest fear during interview is not being prepared for it. You can muster enough confidence by being ready with the interview by reporting properly dressed, bringing well prepared resume and supporting documents when applicable. Try to get information about the company you are applying with for you to know how you can fit into the company. Besides, the interviewer will be flattered when he finds out that you know the company. Also for you to know if it is worth your effort to report for interview by knowing that you are applying for a job you like with a good company. \nDuring the interview, take a deep breath to clear your thoughts and focus on the question being asked. Answer directly to the question and avoid general answers. Sell yourself by being honest in your answers as inconsistencies in your answers can lead into difficult questions.Ask for clarification when necessary. That is acceptable so long as it is needed and not appearing dumb.\nGood luck

Rejection, nervousness, worried about saying something wrong.

Keep in mind - confidence!  That is the key.  If you are confident in yourself 100%, then you'll succeed at anything.  The most qualified person in the world could go in for an interview with no confidence and they probably won't get the job.\nHave confidence and you'll have more of a chance.\nAlso have a good resume.  Good resume's is a big key to a great job.  If you dont feel your resume is up to par..have someone look over it to make it sound better and to check spelling errors.

You need to have great people skills, it helps if you are very outgoing, be very good under pressure and be able to multi-task for sure.\nThe main thing they will be looking for is personality which they will only be able to assess in an interview all the other skills can be learnt which is why they don't mind lack of experience.\nAll you can do is tell them about yourself and your interests and if you are the right person it will come across in the interview.\nOh and if you want to work in events you can kiss goodbye to your personal life lol

Make sure and tell things that are related to the position that you are hiring for. Have a story to go with the different qualities that you are stressing.  For instance, if you say that you have a lot of initiative share a story about a past position where you showed that quality.  Don't talk about your personal life--that is not what the interviewer wants to hear about at this stage.

My weakness is my inability to identify my weakness .

Good question!  I was pondering good answers for these questions just last week.  As far as strengths, you want the interviewer to understand your confidence levels without giving the impression you are being cocky.  Good statements are: being a team player, a quick and eager learner, loyal etc...\n\nWeaknesses, which I think alot of people struggle with answering can be: waiting to the last moment to complete tasks, or not having the verbal advantage you desire.  Remember the interviewer wants you to humanize yourself.

Research the position you are applying for ahead of time and try to find out your duties. Look within yourself for your talents that would complement that position and duties. When asked what strengths you have, simply state your own talents that are suited to that position. If you don't have any experience in that position, say I learn things quickly and require little supervision to get my job done. You might add that you take pride in getting a job done correctly and on time. Don't lie, but don't be ashamed to make your good points shine. ... Good Luck...

Whether you actually want information, or just want not to look bewildered when they drop the question in your lap, you are right to have an answer planned. I think you should focus more on what impression your question will make on them, than on what information you might get from the question.\n\nWait till you see how the interview went. If they want you, ask some questions that relate to things *you* want to get out of the job. Do you feel you need training? Do you feel you need to switch roles every few months (particularly important to get promoted to manager)? Don't say you want these these, ask how they they handle stuff like that. Now, if it's a big company and you are talking to a professional HR person or recruiter, it won't make much difference because they won't have any role in your job. But if it's your soon to be manager, get 'em on the hook.\n\nIf you are sensing they aren't sure they want you, you have one more chance here to ask some questions that relate to things *they* want which might make them want you. Figure out in advance what your weaknesses are likely to be, and figure out questions that will show that you understand yourself and are working to improve. \n\nFinally, if it's pretty clear that they don't want you, definately ask why, and what you could have been or had that  they were looking for. It will help you put your best foot forward in your next interview. Plus, it really will make you look more conscientious (don't make it sound like you're ready to fib to get a job) and they might just remember you if another opening comes up.

if you're talking about a job interview, then you must remember that interviewers only want to know three things.\n\n1) Can you do the job?\n\n2) Will you do the job?\n\n3) Will you fit in?\n\nAlso, try and show some interest in the company. For example, ask if there are any big projects on the horizon.\n\nIf you bear these in mind when answering questions, you will be on the way to success!
