Job interview question: How do you answer "What is your biggest weakness"?

[MuffD]

My wife has a job interview tomorrow and I'm sure this question is going to come up along with the usual. How do you normally answer this?


Thanks

everyone answers "extreme attn to details"

Boobs.

Depends on the job

perfectionist?

I am sometimes too much of a team player and do not stand up for the individual credit I may deserve.

That's is the most overused, most bullshit answer to that question.

I've never said "X is my biggest weakness." I say, "well, at my last job, I tended to do this (still something positive, like "Worked so hard on one project that I lost track of another one."), but I've made it a priority in my career to take steps to prevent this; such as better personal organization, and better communication with my teammates/coworkers."

I tell the interviewer that I'm anal retentive and sometimes it I spend a little too much time making positive things are done properly.

Good Luck to your wife tomorrow :beer:

Work-life balance. I have difficulty remembering to put down the job and go home (or eat lunch or take weekends or...)

Fixed!

I love telling the absolute truth during interviews if possible.

I don't want to have to lie to get a job, and any job who will hire me after hearing the truth seems like a company I would rather work for.

Heh - I interviewed somebody yesterday and anal retentive were the exact words I was looking for to seal the deal on the candidate.

"I used to do this, but I've done this to correct it."

I was completely honest on that question and said I didn't respond well to overt authority being exercised. Interestingly I still got the job.

My enormous penis makes it hard to find slacks that fit and don't make my massive girl-splitter stand out.
