Interview question: What are your weaknesses?

I think you should not point that out too much,that you were six and did not made any sale.that would reflect incompetence if I was the interviewer especially if you want a sales job. This question has been asked from me already. I remember I read that it is okay to tell them what your weakness is. But you have to turn it around and let them feel though you claim it to be a weakness, it still can be used as a strength.

If your answer is correct or not would depend really upon the interviewer's evaluation of your response. If you are accepted on the job, then you can say that what you have said made said and gain the approval of the interviewer convincing him/her that you are qualified for the job. Interview questions like the one you have posted are questions about yourself and the way you respond gives the interviewer a clue about you how you handle things or even yourself. Many applicants fumble on this question because they answer it in a way that bores rather that impress the interviewer. There are many ways to answer this question correctly but the principle is the same - the negative should be turned into positive. I suggest also to surf the net regarding this topic, try typing job interview question on the search engine and you will find many articles about the many interview questions and how to answer them correctly.

Yes, that is an excellent answer to the interview question about weaknesses.

My weaknesses is to answer this kind of question! I can't see the point that guest will shout if in case that you are going to repeat the orders. That is part of your job in restaurant and yet of course you have to verify it. Because if you are not going to do that then probably you are going to give them the wrong order then that could be the time that they will complain or even shout.

if you're applying for a real-estate agent position or a waiter in a restaurant, I don't think you should say that. Of course everybody has weaknesses and it's not wrong to admit them, but there are politically correct answers for that question, and oh, yeah, it's wrong to admit weaknesses in job interviews, unless you want to greatly lessen your chances in getting the job. The politically correct way of answering that is turning your strengths into your weaknesses. You say "what? that's my strength so how can it be my weakness as well?". Well, here's the deal, have you ever heard of the saying that too much of something is bad? Well that's the principle that we will apply for this specific question. Let's say you're a punctual person, say "my weakness is that i'm too punctual that I arrive at my destination at least 30 minutes early, so I have nothing to do for 30 minutes". If you answer like that the interviewer would think that "Oh, I can trust this person to be early" or maybe something even deeper "this person values commitment". You can also answer that "I'm a workaholic and sometimes my family tells me that I have less time for them". It all depends on what your strengths are. Of course, the scenario for your weakness should also be true as well. I hope you get the job :)

I agree with Harmonics response your answer is good or not it is depend upon interviewer what they think because every persons thoughts are not same... but this is really very hard question tell you weakness and your answer is good...
