Your weaknesses and strengths...

[jcrod]

tell them even though I'm a short I accomplish tall tasks.

Tell them not to be fooled by your consistent happy face, you are the most fericious/determined worker.

Tell them you don't mind dirty work, then start showing them some of the most gruesome you've had to collect/clean at work

Is that what you learned in the Ivy League?

I have a couple of tips.

If the interviewer is a women:

"One of my weaknesses is that when I am in the presense of a beautiful woman, I get shy"....then look at her and blush.

If the interviewer is a man:

"One of my weaknesses is that I let my wife my friends and associates."

Is that what you learned in Dental School?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

well for starters you don't like family matters

[ZStomp]

well for starters you don't like family matters

I never said I didn't like it..it's not the best show ever...or close to it.

You have to use weaknesses that can be spinned into a positive as far as the job is concerned.

Weaknesses:
Workaholic
Demanding
Perfectionist

Bingo!!

#1 reason.

Always a good one to use.

Always the one I would use or suggest in using.

I know you pretty well. You're scared to face the truth, thats why. Your weaknesses:

You're mean
You expect nothing less than perfection from everyone
You're mean
You're brutally honest
You watch too much tv
You miss work for Spurs games
Did I mention you're mean?

I think you need to work on these things A-SAP and turn them into positives as others mentioned before going in front of any type of board or committee to get that Coaching job for the Women's softball team. Even they have expectations. Good luck!

Like Kori said, you have to use weaknesses that can be turned in positives. For example, you can say that one of your biggest weaknesses is that you are a perfectionist and you expect those you work with to be the same way. Then you can go into some BS-made up "group project" you worked on which showed this weakness. Then be like, however, after completeing that project, I am beginining to realize that not everyone has the same definition of perfect and that in the work-place it's more important that I learn how to work well with others. I now see that being a perfectionist, I may be limiting myself to others ideas and not being as open. I've learned that while it's ok to want to be a perfectionists, it's a task that is almost impossible to achieve all the time and that sometimes, I need to just go with the flow.

....Or some similiar BS. If you need any more help, let me know. I am a professional bull- ter ( that didn't come out the way I thought it would)

Good Luck!

I was checking this thread before I hit the sack. In 12 hours I will either be knee deep into the interview or be done. Thanks 1P1...good stuff.

[alamo50]

I tell them that my strength is being a perfectionist, but at the same time that could be my weakness.
Depending on the type of job they will hire you on the spot or tell you they will keep in touch.
