Answer by malica
You’d better stick to the first question. Elevate means to raise. Alleviate means to put at ease. With the nerves of an interview you don’t want to mix that up and look foolish.

You don’t make up answers for job interviews. You give honest answers. You should know the company you are applying for a job with.. very important. You should know the job you are applying for. And YOU should be prepared to answer questions intelligently, and honestly. We don’t know you. How could we tell you what to say? I don’t know where you got the idea you make up answers rather than being hones, but that is just wrong.

Question by Sara: would this be an inappropriate answer to the question “what is your greatest weakness” during a job interview?
I’m currently seeking a new job and it will only be my second interview for a job ever. During my first interview (retail store) i was not asked this question, however this new job i’m looking into involves being a receptionist. If they were to ask me my greatest weakness, would it be too inappropriate to say that I tend to have a bit of social anxiety however at the start of my current job i’ve learned to change that anxiety into almost adrenaline and I push myself to do that task. The more anxious I feel about something the farther i will go to make myself do it.
I’m not sure if it would be a good answer considering your not “really” suppose to give a weakness, but more or less a weakness that conceals a strength like the classic “i tend to really be a perfectionist”…Instead of lying and saying something like that, i figured i’d say something that really is a weakness but pushes me harder.
Thanks for the opinions!
but isn’t that why I would say how it pushes me to do it better? How would that be a concern for them?

the part about the weakness pushing you harder is really good, but I don’t think I would say the part about the social anxiety. As a receptionist, you do have to deal with people on a daily basis and that might be a concern for them.
Good luck! Hope you get it

Question by Hard Candy: EMPLOYERS : What was the best answer you got during . . .?

Answer by watet
As an employer I usually find most people fall at this type of question.
They sometimes become too honest, thinking I will admire their honesty like …’find getting up in a morning difficult is my weakness…’.
Just look for someone who’s weakness could actually be of benefit to your operation. …’I am a perfectionist…’, ‘…wanting to become involved in too many projects…’

Question by JB: What should you say during a job interview when asked “What are some of your weaknesses?”?
Many job interviews will ask you to name some of your weaknesses, but what would a good response to that question be? I know its good to try and spin your weakness as a positive or to talk about weaknesses you have overcome but im haveing a problem coming up with an appropriate answer. Any examples you guys can give will be greatly apprciated.

Answer by Thats_me
This is what i would say is the perfect example:
“My weakness is that i am have a lot of patience, which means i can’t just be too much on anyone…”
“My weakness is that i am workholic man, which means i can’t go home if my work is not done. I am kinda stick to what i do”
At the end to give a spice to cake, you can always add “I am working on it”

Question by Nina: fear of getting a panic attack during a job interview?
I used to be ok…free of my panic attack and anxiety for years now…until my last job interview… I was sitting there, waiting for my interview and it just crossed my mind “What if I get a panic attack?!” and of course, just thinking about it made it even worse and I found myself literally running away and making some stupid excuse about an emergency… I have another job interview very soon and I want this job but just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach! I know for sure that this will lead to a panic attack during my interview and there is nothing I can say to myself or visualise to avoid it. I am devastated and Im thinking about taking some tranquilizers or just cancelling the interview… which is completely stupid. I don’t know what’s happened to me.. I used to be ok and totally over panic and anxiety…. Please help….
I was…5 years ago and totally recovered… Even now Im OK…it’s just these situations where I HAVE TO be… where I can’t just get up and leave (an airplane, elevator and yes, an interview) that give me panic attacks…
