Job Interview!! - chairman - 03-08-2011
when they ask what are your weaknesses.
what do you say!
Re: Job Interview!! - VillageBelle - 03-08-2011
pertaining to the particular job?......the truth.
I work in accounting but I tend to transpose numbers!!!!
the important question & answer is......how do you overcome that weakness.
Re: Job Interview!! - Nargis - 03-08-2011
"i tend to take my work home"
Re: Job Interview!! - chairman - 03-08-2011
is that a weakness?
Re: Job Interview!! - VillageBelle - 03-08-2011
an individual may see that as a "weakness" in themself
but i bet an employer won't
Re: Job Interview!! - Nargis - 03-08-2011
i tend to bring my work home with me because my personality likes to complete projects to the best of my ability and deliver a product that is 100% to my satisfaction
I have to take more effort in leaving work at work so i can have that much needed mental break.
Another weakness of mine is a darn..i cant remeber it now
Re: Job Interview!! - VillageBelle - 03-08-2011
I never take work home
if necessary....i would rather go in early or stay in late and do what has to get done
once i walk out that office door......it is ME time.

you're not supposed to give what would be considered a strength as a weakness, ie: i tend to overwork myself, i hate making mistakes, etc etc
i think i told them, i sometimes find myself taking failure and being incorrect personal. in the past year...tell some bs story where i learned a lesson...and now i feel that im really learning from others and find personal growth in my mistakes.
blah blah
