Question by vjustice4all: What answer would you give to this question in a job interview?
What are your weaknesses?
Would it be proper to say that one of your weaknesses is Interviewing? I have minimal experience in interviewing because I have been stable at my current job for many years.
Please help me with this one. I don’t know how to answer it.
Thank you in advance for your answers!!

Change the question around by showing how you overcame a previous weakness. For example, “In the past I had difficulty organizing my time effectively. But after I took a seminar on organizational skills I applied those skills to my work, and I have been considered to be one of the most organized people since then.”

Question by kabracadabra: Would you continue to talk to a coworker from a former job you hated?
Well I know this is an odd question. But, I’m curious to know what you would do if you were in my shoes. I recently sort of left a job. In the school system there is a thing called excessing and I was excessed out of the school budget before the summer. I think there might have been underlying reasons why this happened. (Maybe the administrators didn’t like me…I don’t know) I could have remained working in the school due to union but made choice to leave bcuz politics.
Anyway, I moved on and I’m happy now without ever looking back. However, a former coworker-surpisingly added me on to facebook and I replied to him and asked him “how is he doing?”He said that he is doing well and he implemented an after school program at the former school with administrations approval. In fact he said the principal loved his idea. I’m happy for him. However he asks me what I’m up to? However, I don’t know if I want to disclose what I’m doing now because I’m not sure if I want those other ppl to know.
Am I being too sensitive? What would you do if you were in my shoes. He seems like a good friend but I’m not sure if I trust him.
Yes what I’m doing now it is legal…I’ve started a technological service business. LOL!

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 mimi A: if at an interview you were asked what are your weakness and strenght what would be your best answer?
Best answer:
Answer by Who’s sarcastic?
Not only do I know how to spell, but I am able to use ’spell-check’ in case I make a typo.
Also, I am unable to refrain from correcting others’ grammar and spelling mistakes. But that might be another strength, I don’t know.
You spelled ’strength’ wrong.

Answer by smartiebc
I would have to say my biggest weakness would be overachiever, I tend to try to push myself hard to accomplish my goals and sometimes it may be too much to handle at times.
