What is your greatest weakness? This common interview question can be very difficult to answer. When I applied to colleges, I was even asked this question.

1. Don’t work against yourself. Don’t list too many serious weaknesses and degrade yourself, but if you disguise your weakness as a strength, it can come across not genuine.
2. Find a middle ground Answer the question with one of your genuine weaknesses, but then include how your strengths are helping you to improve and overcome this weakness. For example, you could say “One of my weaknesses is that I talk too much, however I am disciplined and focused, so I have been working on keeping my attention on work, not on socializing.”
3. Emphasize personal improvement. After mentioning a weakness, always include how you are working on improving it. If you say that you are unorganized, then include that you will buy desk organizers and pencil cases so that you will have a cleaner workspace at your new job. By taking initiative, you will show self-awareness and motivation.

I learned to always be selfless when it came to customers and doing a job, always put the customers' interest front and center. I learned a lot of diligence and self reliance as well as team reliance, sometimes I even forgot that my boss was my dad, and often seen him as a leader in ways that mattered in the work force.

Hi everyone. I have a WC priority conference set up next week. My Attorney told me that most often the Employer will give you an offer but you will be expected to resign. My question is how to explain that in an interview when asked why did you leave your lsst employer

Is it okay to ask about benefits on the first interview? I have two interviews set up next week and I want to ask questions around health care coverage/cost and paid time off but I fear these type of questions will raise red flags and cause me to loose interview points for choosing what employers might consider "sensitive" pre-employment topics of discussion. I know salary talk is out of the question but are company benefits questions also taboo?

I recently got stumped big time at an interview when the interviewer asked me about my biggest flaw. How can I answer this honestly without ruining the interview? Is it possible? The rest of the interview was okay but they haven’t offered me the job. What other tough questions I can prepare for in case they invite me back for a second interview?

Ok when the manager asked me what made you apply for this job and why I get stuck on not knowing what to say or on a question like what can you bring to this company I get stuck again please help

I was asked “where does your manager think you are today” during an interview this week. I told him I used a vacation day but I actually had to call in sick because they notified me about the interview 2 days before. I hated lying about that but I felt the interviewing manager was putting me on the spot with that question. Why would he ask me that? Do you think that’s something he will ask my current employer when he does a reference check?

Hello! I have a question, what is the best way to answer the question "So, what happened with your last job?" Especially if you got terminated from that job?

Thanks :)

This is a landmine question. I was let go from my last job and 2x's in interviews I have cratered on this question. Best option from my standpoint, "a new management team came in and they are bringing in their people". This in my opinion is best so your not saying "it didn't like my boss" which make the employer thing "what if they don't like, they might just leave". Best to put it on the boss that they came in and they are bringing in their people.

I need to come up with a better answer to this popular but dreaded interview question… “Tell me about yourself?” I hate it when they ask me this question! It's so frustrating trying to decipher exactly what the interviewer is looking for in my answer. I usually respond with a brief summary of my education background, job history, and skills but all that’s information employers already see on my resume. I feel like I’m wasting an opportunity to set up good rapport and engage managers with valuable information that’s going to set me apart from every other applicant. Tired of playing back the same old record! I’ve read that it’s better to be more of a storyteller during interviews but I have no ideas how to prepare to do this. Any suggestions?
