......... Lets continue with the thread comrades 3.WHAT ARE YOUR WEAKNESSES?

The question is not simple as it looks; most candidates go blank when they face this kind of question. Take your time in explaining why you can’t leave the office before you complete a task. You can also inform them how you are quick to trust a person, which in most cases makes you a victim.

For example, if you are interviewing for a customer care role, you might say that your weakness is that you are a perfectionist, and that you sometimes have trouble letting go of tasks until you are absolutely sure that they are perfect. You could then explain that you are working on this by setting deadlines for yourself and by delegating tasks to others when necessary.

Here are some other examples of weaknesses that you could mention in an interview:

Procrastination: "I sometimes procrastinate on tasks that I don't enjoy, but I am working on this by setting deadlines for myself and by breaking down large tasks into smaller ones."

Delegation: "I have difficulty delegating tasks to others, but I am working on this by learning to trust my colleagues and by giving them clear instructions."

Communication: "I sometimes have difficulty communicating my ideas clearly, but I am working on this by practicing my communication skills with friends and family members."

Organization: "I can be disorganized sometimes, but I am working on this by using to-do lists and by setting up systems to help me keep track of my work."

Public speaking: "I get nervous when I have to speak in public, but I am working on this by taking public speaking classes and by practicing giving presentations to friends and family members."

No matter what weakness you choose to mention, be sure to explain how you are working to improve it. This shows the interviewer that you are self-aware and that you are committed to personal growth. #ikokazi
