Title: D'oh!!!!!
Post by: bohorquez on July 29, 2004, 08:47:24 pm
I had a phone interview today and I totally blanked on the "what is your weakness" question.  I couldn't think of anything to say!  Eventually I said I would love to improve my writing skills..... eh!

You can always turn weaknesses into positives eg., -

1) I am very particular about how I present my work and expect the same of others.
Or
2) I am a tidy person which means sometimes I file things away when my boss actually needed it.

Gee

I did the same.  I hate filing so I always mention that as my weakness.  However I turn it round by saying that I've created an interim filing system so that I could always find things!!!

Or if you are really stuck you could always mention chocolate as a weakness.

One of my co-workers just wrote me a reference for a volunteer position; it was a fill-in-the-blank type form and under "weaknesses" he wrote "falls for cute pets easily".
