For interviews they ask a question "What are your weakness?". What is the answer?

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.

My weakness is wanting to do a million things that I could do, but I don't because I am afraid of what others will thing. So, if you used conclusions that we used in my geometry class, if I have a weakness, then it is other people's opinions. I hate when I know I can do something but the fact that other's are watching makes me worried. And I am the one who always tells people that what other's think doesn't matter. My other weakness is ice cream. I love ice cream. I am on a no junkfood diet, but when someone says there's ice cream, I give in. I hate that...

Skills are important, but more importantly are behaviors that can not be taught.  I am not talking so much about personality, but behaviors.  For instance, it's difficult to train someone to be honest, energetic, calm under stressful situations, non-dogmatic with respect to their opinions, etc.  From a behavioral standpoint, past performance is a good indicator of future performance.  Hence, questions in the interview are designed to see how you behaved in a situation in the past.  For instance a question might be, tell me a time you had a disagreement with you boss about what to do in a particular situation.  What did  you do?\n\nThe answer could be, Well my boss wanted me to do something a certain way, even though I knew it was wrong, so I did it my way anyway.  Definitie No No answer\n\nThe better answer is.  Well my boss wanted me to something a certain way, even though I knew it was wrong.  I told him that I thought it was wrong and gave him/her some alternatives on how to do it.  He/she insisted I do it their way, so I did.

Either you say a weakness that is also a strength something like: I am a perfectionist etc.\nOr a genuine weakness that you had in the past that you addressed and improved something like computer skills addressed by going to appropriate courses etc\nGood luck

I have been asked this one before, and it is asked for a good reason.\n\nFirst, they want to know about your integrity. If you say that you don't have any weaknesses, they know that you are either naive or lying. Next candidate please...\n\nSecond, they want to know that you are aware of your weaknesses. We all have them, and *they* know that. You should know what yours are. If you don't, then that is a major weakness in itself.\n\nThird, and most importantly, they want to know how you *compensate* for your weaknesses. For every weakness that you tell them, thell them *truthfully* what you do and have done to compensate or strenghten yourself.\n\nThe least important reason that they ask the question is to actually know what your weaknesses are.\n\nBe truthful, be fair, but **don't** forget to tell them how you will work so that your weaknesses will be addressed by yourself.

State your strength and if possible try to give examples related to job functions you had to reinforce it.  For example, "I deal well under pressure.  In my current job I am constantly given last minute projects and request with deadlines that must be met within a few hours/days."

This is a wonderful question for a college interview.  Only YOU know what your true bad qualities are, if you have any?\n\nYou want the interviewer to know that you can identify your short comings.  So it is important to find something about yourself that may be considered a bad quality, if not by yourself then others. \n\nBut I would suggest to identify small quirks NOT major crises.  You don't want to appear as unable to manage situations.\n\nSome negative qualities may be:  \n\n"I set my car "trip set" button to measure the miles between destinations and it drives my friends crazy".  (reason for this quirk would be to establish that you always plan ahead, that you measure your goals for the most expedient way to accomplish them)  then add that you feel that while some may see this as a bad quality I see it as being time efficient.\n\n"I think I may ask too many questions, I have been told since childhood that I just talk too much."  (reason for this is to establish that you are inquisitive)\n\n"I know I am the loudest person in the room." (reason for this may be to denote I AM important)\n\nBut basically look for small negatives that can been seen as strengths.\n\nAlways be positive, but not arrogant.\n\ngood luck tomorow........\n\n\nAnna M.

Well, they're probably going to ask you how you've handled a difficult customer situation in the past, to which you tell them something along the lines of keeping your temper and treating the customer like a person and not like a nuisance.  Then they'll ask you your strengths, which you can answer with whatever strengths you may have, and of course they'll ask you your weaknesses after that, which you'll answer with whatever weaknesses you may have, but never say something like, "I have a short temper" or "I'm always late"...answers like that put up huge red flags.  Just be honest with them and always remember to look them in the eye.  It shows confidence, even if you're completely nervous inside.  Good luck!

They ask questions about you.  They give you some scenarios and ask you how you would react if a certain situation would happen to you. And be prepared to answer these 2 hard questions: 1-Why our cie and not others?  2-What is your biggest weakness.  Good luck

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.

When an interviewer asks that question they are giving you the oppurtunity to really sell yourself.  They want to know what is going to set you apart from everyone else that has been interviewed.  Use it as a way to really play up your good qualities.

Say something like, "I am currently developing my Microsoft Office skills by taking online tutorials and reading.  My goal is to be an expert in XYZ by the end of the year."\n\nDon't say the word weakness.  Start it off with "I am currently (further) developing my XYZ skills (have examples of your proactivity handy) and will have (very valuable and impressive) results by the end of the year (month, semester)\n\nIt works

Question 1 is looking for you ablitiy to be comfortable and be able to communicate with confidence....SOOO talk about something that you are confident with. Perhaps a hobby you enjoy. \n\nQuestion 2, you dont ever want to bad mouth you previous employer so say something like you are looking to gain new experiences, or looking for a company that can offer you more opportunity to move around into other positions... Whatever your reason for leaving is.  IF you don't get along with your boss you can use one of my suggestions. \n\nStrength and weaknesses:  Those are always the tough questions.  Who wants to admit they are weak? \n\nThis give the interviewer an idea of personality. \n\nTake a while to really think about what you want to say for these. Write down your answers. Get a couple differnet ones even so you will have a choice of what to talk about.
