What is your weakness?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
As a good rule of thumb--any answer that doesn't make you look terrible.

Procrastination is a joke, as is perfectionism. You didn't even answer the question with one of those. But, "sometimes, I flip my $hit" probably is the answer that keeps you out.

Answer it, as honestly as you can, try to find your true weakness. But, if you think you have anger issues, don't share it.
 
Maybe next time you should try "I don't know the difference between 'to' and 'too'"
I can hear the spelling police siren from here 😀

I would say the most terrible are (from most terrible to least terrible):

your vs you're
to vs too
then vs than
its vs it's

I'd make then/than number 2. You can end up saying some messed up chiz if you mix those two(vs to vs too 😉). Don't forget there/their/they're! Oh, English 🙂
 
Theirs to many people whom think there English is better then everyone else's. Its quite sad.
 
I said that my weakness is for size zero blondes...
 
Stick with the cookie cutter answers with this one.

I chose perfectionism and procrastination. They lol'd and we moved on.
 
What do you usually say/would say when interviewers ask "what is your weakness?"
Think of your own instead of stealing other people's.

"I work to hard and make to many sacrifices to better other people"

So grammar is your weakness?

Advice/advise is a pretty bad one too considering they don't even sound the same.
 
"I have a weakness for cute interviewers" then wink

If I interview an applicant (seems like it would be fun) and got this for an answer, that would probably be enough to win me over. 😀

My skin crawled. :scared:

Biggest weaknesses:

Too athletic
Too young
Too intelligent

Ugh, it sucks being so flawed. I'm not sure how I'm going to explain these attributes in an interview... 🙁
 
There is no weakness, there is strength. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. The Jedi code will guide me.

Use a weakness that can also be perceived as a strength. A common one is , perfectionism.
 
I hate answering this question

Because there is NO answer that won't make you look bad. It's hard for a lot of people to think of one or two weaknesses and when they do, it could end up being the only thing that gets them the WL...

But really, I never got this question in an interview. I suspect that most people (including myself) would say something about procrastination and/or perfectionism. It's not the best answer, but it's not a horrible one either.
