Answer this

there is no one true answer, some recruiters want to hear lie like "'I'm workaholic " to show you can play the game, others want some real flaw and for you to show how are you working on addressing it... there are many other views on that, like for some just having any answer ready apparently proves you are capable of introspection and self-reflection...

>What is your greatest weakness?
That I don't have enough gas

how do you live with yourself? such an ass licker

yea this is pure cringe

I'm a perfectionist.

Had an interview the other day and didn’t really answer this besides implying it’s a generic hr interview question. Did fine in the rest though.

Honest answer: one of your faults and the steps your taken to improve it.

I’m lazy and I like to sleep in until 9:30. Work starts at 8:00

Solution? I started going to bed early to be an early riser and get to work on time so I could be a better emoloyee

it's the opposite, actually...

>perfectionist
did you know there are 2 types of those?
adaptive - the one who actually gets stuff done perfectly (or close to)
maladaptive - the other 90% of perfectionists, who fail miserably at whatever task they are attempting

great insight

have got mixed feedback about this answer, many people say this is a cop out and the interviewer will just label you as a bullshitter, but others have told me its a solid answer.

I think it depends on the job. You're gonna want a better answer AND example if you're aiming for more than just manager at a Starbucks or something. Everybody thinks they work too hard, or they're a perfectionist. It's such a common answer. HR retards might not care, but a manager wants to know you recognize your faults if they are gonna give you any real responsibility. So it's important to find something that you can be sincere about and provide real reasons to, imho.

op.. the correct answer is: I'm a perfectionist.

you're welcome.

>I'm a perfectionist.
this guy gets it

just tell the truth. Since you browse this website, you're probably not very social, so you could say something like "I need a longer time to recharge after social interactions"

try to zoom out a little now, don't focus to much on that single question alone, it's just a part of a bigger whole - you are telling a story about yourself here, whole interview is what matters

what "you" do you want to show them? you can try to crack a joke here ("kryptonite!" but do a proper answer after!), you can sell them them a story how in high-school you decided to consciously improve yourself and that you ask this question to yourself every couple months - you already won with gluttony etc.. and currently work on whatever... even if someone was just told this morning to interview a new candidate and they just ask questions from a safe list HR prepared without a bit of training just to be done with it - you still can make an impression, this is your chance, don't waste it giving a one-word answer! there are few considerations that it shouldn't automatically disqualify you ("I'm a pedophile, lol jk") and be somewhat relevant to the job, but even something like "I'm bad at interacting with customers" can (with some difficulty) be twisted around into you heroically fighting against your weakens and using this job opportunity to get better, yeah it sounds sleazy as fuck, but attitude is what sells in job interview.

similar with other idiotic questions like "what animal would you like to be?" don't just bluntly say first animal that comes to your mind, decide what you want to sell and then present the process of "finding" the answer in couple of sentences

biggest weakness:
Getting agressive when someone asks stupid questions!

Not answering stupid questions!

My soft side. Sometimes I really think about that all people can get along somehow fine. Until I realize that its all about struggle and to overcome it. To aim only for Final Victory.

pick either option depending on the size and specialty of the position.

A - My skill set is perhaps too broad... i love learning and tend to explore a bit of everything. I'm worried i may be lacking more specialized knowledge in X. Knowing this, i'm starting to learn and deep dive into X, to further my understanding of it.

B - My skill set is very specific... i love learning and exploring every aspect of X. I'm worried i may be lacking more general supporting knowledge for my pipeline. Knowing this, i'm starting to familiarize myself with A, B, C to bolster my applicable skills.

I over commit sometimes is exactly the same as I work too hard. If you don't think an interviewer sees right through one of the most basic and overused answers such as that, you're retarded or the interviewer is retarded.

This does a few things:
Shows introspection.
Self motivation and willingness to identify weaknesses and improve yourself.
Humble brag your skillset.
Doesn't open you up to shit like "i work too hard" or "i often get caught staring at peoples tits"

Worked for me. You don't wanna go in and tell them "I spend 10 hours talking about how much I hate kikes" or something. It's different enough to raise an eyebrow but still enough to not get the flag.

> My weakness is that I need to know the specific intent behind obtuse, impersonal questions before I answer them with personal information.

they do not get better with age man

extremely based thank you, it happens to be a specialized area of finance
holy fuck what on earth do you reply to " what animal would you like to be?"
yeah I dont think I will use the perfectionist one

I think the overspecialized or under specialized is the best you could possibly answer. It shows you understand how you fit into an industry. Honestly I might start going with that angle myself, I think it's a solid one

having to answer gay questions like that, so you gonna hire me or not faggot?

I hire at a Fortune 500 bank. If you get an interview you are legit 75% don’t fuck up. Research the department online extensively, have a reason why this firm over other firms. Mention EQ, have a preset answer on how to overcome diversity both culturally and technically (is you are smarter but convince others to agree) that’s all

A variation of not speaking a foreign language.

be honest, take a real flaw that you had in your previous job (giving examples) and how you are aware of it and working on it.

Example (because it's true for me): i can be too direct and it has hurt people so now i'm careful of what i say. then i give examples when i was too direct and how i would say it now.

many good answers itt, but personally i would go with even though is godtier too

Fucking faggots.

My greatest weakness, is you.
I love you sir.

"I'm not gay but i want to fuck with a fat russian scammer after i bought a big stash of a shitcoin he created.
I was pushed to buy it on a mongolian autistic self-help board"

interviews

I like brappers too much

I always answer public speaking.

This, but emphasise how useful you think it would be to learn some language and then state how you're learning Spanish or whatever in your spare time.

They basically want you to say something that isn't a major weakness and then state how you're addressing your shortcomings in that item by working on it

Exactly how I integrate the response as well. it's worked out well every time I have done this.
