10 "WEAKNESSES" THAT ARE OK TO MENTION IN A
JOB INTERVIEW
Using humor effectively and efficiently to convey
a message or idea.
COMIC EFFICIENCY
Employing deadpan humor to deliver jokes
or witty remarks in a straightforward, expressionless manner.
USING DEADPAN HUMOR
Hide your weaknesses by aiming high and having big ambitions.
CLOAK YOUR SHORTCOMINGS IN AMBITION
Expressing a fondness for cake during the interview not only showcased humanity but also secured the job with the promise of more office cakes.
ALLOW THEM TO ENJOY CAKE
Recruiters prefer honest and creative answers over repetitive or evasive comments from candidates during repetitive interviews.
AVOID THE HUMBLE BRAG
Don't mention a good quality as a weakness; instead, talk about something like forgetfulness but explain how you've improved by using reminders and staying organized.
SHARE A WEAKNESS ALONG WITH ITS REMEDY
Despite the potential risks, a candidate openly disclosed having ADHD as a weakness but assured it wouldn't be an issue, leading to a job offer.
BE OPEN AND HONEST WHEN DISCUSSING DISABILITIES
Interviewers value honesty and prefer candidates to express genuine weaknesses rather than trying to second-guess them, allowing for opportunities for improvement.
BE COMPLETELY HONEST
Are you a leader who finds it hard to delegate tasks, even if it means burning out? This struggle, while a weakness, highlights your dedication to work quality.
EXCESSIVELY TAKING ON RESPONSIBILITIES
Don't discuss personal issues in interviews; concentrate on your potential contributions to the company to avoid concerns about future problems.
