"Tough Job Interview Questions
The toughest interview question that I find that people come across is the
question, ""what are your weaknesses""? And here's the trick of this question. The
employer they don't really want to know your true weakness. And if they do want to
know your true weakness, you've got to counter it with how you work against that
weakness.
So the number one answer that people generally give to 'what is your weakness',
is, I'm a perfectionist. That's not a real answer, you know we're all perfectionists.
What I need you to do is be somewhat honest about what your
potential weakness is. But I need you to couch it in how you work against it. So for example.
If you're a workaholic, if you're someone that's determined to get the task done, that's
inherently a positive. Your employer is seeing this as a great thing. So you're actually
giving a weakness that is really something that's
quite positive, and that's how you answer the tough question. What's your
greatest weakness.
