In interview, how to answer "What are your weaknesses"?
482372
If you don't feel comfortable answering the question, you can try to deflect it by saying that, while you obviously have weaknesses, you aren't aware of anything that would interfere with your ability to do the job. If the interviewer persists, you can turn this into an opportunity to discuss what's important to you. You might say, for example, that you work best with managers who trust and give you a lot of feedback. Or you might say that you tend to perform best in a fast-paced environment with clear deadlines. Although you aren't specifically citing a weakness, you are implying that you work better under certain conditions. \n\nYou also can use humor to deflect the question, as demonstrated by one general manager. When asked about his weaknesses, he liked to reply: "Ask my parole officer." Of course, this joke works only if you don't have any felony convictions.

Make a list of your weaknesses and identify which of them you can compensate for with your strengths.\n\nA conflict situation has to be solved by searching for and identifying a win - win situation for all the parties involved in the conflict.\n\nA good team player has to match his goals to the team goals, coordinate with team members and help maintain a harmonious and productive thinking and emotional atmosphere.\n\nYou can further see what ideas you can get from http://www.spiritualtechnology.kkpsites.com to help in your interview.

My weakness is my inability to identify my weakness .

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

What do you consider to be your personal strengths?  Weaknesses?  What do you look for in an employee or coworker?  Describe a situation in which you had to discipline a subordinate.  Describe a situation in which you had to fire an employee, including why.  In what ways have you personally contributed to positive changes in previous employment?  How do you handle motivating an underperforming employee?

I read somewhere that when interviewers ask that you should give your strong points and speak of your weak points and how you can make them better by being willing to learn.

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

"What's your weakness?" : Something like, "I'm a bit of a control freak, I like to make sure that eveything is going smoothly, and the only way I can do that is to be in total control. I need to learn to delegate more". Makes you sound like you're a workaholic, they love that sort of sh*t.\n\n"Where do you see yourself in five years?" : Not sure, I'd probably plump for something like "I'd like to develop the skills I have now, and be in a position to be able to pass the knowledge and experience I've gained to the other members of my team, hopefully in the form of a managerial position".\n\nIt's all about playing the game, as I'm sure you know.\n\nGood luck!!!!!!!!!!

This is an excellent question.What you should do is not to start bad mouthing or simply doubting the ability of the other candidates - a surprisingly common mistake.\nMost times you will not know the other candidates, and it is ALWAYS best to say "well I cannot comment on the other candidates, nor is it my place to do so, however I can assure you that..." \nYour answer should basically be composed from their literature about the job - that is, say that you possess the requisite qualifications, that you have the necessary skills, and that you are interested in the same sort of things as the company - teamwork, personal motivation and integrity. \nIf you can use the interviewer's own description of the job, then so much the better. \nAlso try and pick one or two examples from your past that you feel will stand you in good stead for the current job if this does not involve repetition of previous answers: "And, given that I worked on something similar, though on a smaller scale, with my previous company, I feel that the project you would be looking for the successful applicant to undertake would be something that I could really get my teeth into and I would relish the opportunity to take on this more ambitious, larger project, applying and upgrading the skills that I developed in my previous role".\nGood luck!!!

- What strengths do you bring?\n- What have you done at your previous employer that I should know about?

Your pros should be strengths, and your weakensses should also be disguised strengths.\n\nExample:\n\nI'm working on being a little less detail oriented, but producing accurate work is important to me.  Sometimes I spend too long trying to find minor errors.

They are also most likely to ask some of the following:\n1) What are your strengths and weaknesses? Be careful here when u talk abt your weaknesses, try to turn in into something positive. For example, "I'm not very good in MS Powerpoint but I'm working on it at the moment by taking up a course to be better at it" or something like that.\n\n2)So tell us about yourself. This simple request was the first thing they asked me when i got into the room and i was so nervous and stumped by such a simple question. Dont be like me. Go in prepared about what you're gonna tell them about yourself.\n\n3)Why do you want to work here?\n\n4)Why should we hire you?\n\nYep that's all I can think of for now! Good luck! I have one to go to tmr too! Hope that goes well! hehehe. Remember to stay calm, collected and be honest. Never lie cos I've been told that some trained HR professionals can actually read body language and also check up on your references. :) Cheers!

Strengths: Attention to detail.\nWeaknesses: Sometimes my obsession to do a good job makes me seem to pushy.

Identify your weakness first & then work on strengthening them.

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.

Have good answers prepared and rehearsed to the following questions:\n\nWhy do you want to work here?\nWhat do you know about this company?\nWhere do you see yourself in two years?\nWhat is your greatest strength?\nWhat is your greatest weakness?\n\nThe first question is the one most people fumble...
