Turn Weaknesses Into Strenghts
Posted by Robert on Apr 25, 2008
Ask Men, asked the question: “If you were asked by the interviewer what your weakness is, what would you answer?” The problem with this question is that if you say you have no weakness, your credibility dies, if you chose the the wrong “weakness” then you may not be able to land the job. The article mentioned five possible weaknesses that will work to your advantage:
“I tend to talk too much”
Make sure you emphasize that you’re a good communicator.
“I project self-expectations”
It means that you expect a lot from yourself and your team mates. Be careful not to ham it up too much as it may backfire on you.
“I get attached to projects”
It shows that you’re willing to stay on a task until it is absolutely finished.
“I assume the leadership role when it’s not designated to me”
This weakness shows that you are willing to take up responsibilities beyond your job description to finish the job with your teammates.
“I’m a workaholic”
This one shows that you are willing to go the extra mile. Just don’t over do it as it may turn out to be a daily thing for you.
