Re: the dreaded \"describe your weaknesses\" interview question
"I WORK WAYYYYY TOO HARD"
"I accept being underpaid" "I am just too efficient sometimes and I run out of work to do." actually i think i just say something like "i'm shy.. but once i get use to being around people i'm fine." because it is true. |

Re: the dreaded \"describe your weaknesses\" interview question
Go ahead and identify a minor weakness you might have had and then discuss how you overcame it. An example from The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Perfect Interview:
"I used to have some difficulty staying organized on the road. But then I got into the habit of making journal notes immediately after each customer call. I just learned to take the time to do it -- then and there. Since then, I've always been together, in the home office or out on the road." |

[/ QUOTE ] I think these "turn the weakness into a strength" strategies are a little too transparent... The strategy Cubswin gave of giving an example of how you overcame a weakness seems like a good idea. |

Re: the dreaded \"describe your weaknesses\" interview question
"sometimes I'm a perfectionist" one is so BS - recruiters see right thru it these days - I had a really good one once but forgot it -
