When asked “What is your greatest weakness”, it’s easy enough to respond to this question with stammering. Thrivas, a leader among staffing agencies in Broward County FL, hears it every day.
After all, when it comes to interview questions and interview answers, no one really wants to discuss what can be seen as a question designed to explain why you’re not right for the job you’re applying for.
Nonetheless, if you want to learn how to answer interview questions, then you’re going to need to learn how to answer anything a potential employer might throw at you. That certainly includes coming up with a clear, concise, and above all else honest answer to something like “What are your greatest weaknesses.”
How To Answer “What Is Your Greatest Weakness”
With the question of “What are your greatest weaknesses”, the first thing you want to do is look at this question in the most honest light possible. That means understanding very clearly that no one is saying that you have to come up with a list of reasons why you shouldn’t be hired. The interviewer is not trying to sell you short. None of their interview questions are designed to keep you from the job you want. This is something that needs to be reflected in your interview answers.
As you begin to learn how to answer interview questions, you’re going to find that even a difficult question such as this is fairly easy to answer.
Above all else, you do not want to answer “What is your greatest weakness” with something that is going to keep you from getting the job. You do not want to directly relate the particulars of the job in question to something that you perceive to be a weakness. In the end, the interviewer is asking you this question because they want to find out if you are going to have the ability to carry out the specifics of your job. No one is saying you can’t. They simply want your answer to this question to reflect that when it comes right down to the heart of the matter (which is the job), you are still the best applicant available.
Consider listing a weakness that is not related in any way to the responsibilities of the job you’re applying for. This can be a weakness that doesn’t really have anything to do with the specifics of the job you’re applying for, but is a workplace weakness nonetheless.
Above all, emphasize that the weakness is actively being worked on. This is also true for a “strength in disguise” weakness.
Thrivas, a leader among staffing agencies in Broward County FL, hopes this helps!
