Don't leave the answer just hanging out there with adding this

FREE ebook (23).png

In a job interview, plan on the question: “What is your greatest weakness?” It always comes, sometimes because they can think of anything else (it is an easy question to toss out) and sometimes on purpose probing. Answering this question correctly is essential. Figuring out what would be correct s not easy. Of course, be honest but do not get hung up on that because it is a trap. Be frank in bringing up a weakness but show how you dealt with it and conquered it.

Some examples. I get so focused on my work that I can forget an appointment, and it was a real problem before I learned to live with a day planner with all my to-do items. I often forget important names and did so until I learned to write them down in my day planner immediately.

The point is to show how you have dealt with the weakness. Show that you are human but that you take doing a good job seriously.

How to answer the predictable questions that come in a job interview →

How do you answer the question: “Why are you interested in this position?” in a job interview?

When the question 'Why are you interested in this position?' arises, it's an opportunity to showcase your unique value. While you may not know if it was planned or considered necessary by the interviewer, you still have the chance to present yourself in the best light. This question is more than just a query-it's a chance to sell yourself, but it does require some preparation.

I think the first step in being ready for this question is to know as much as possible about the job you are applying for before you are asked this. It can be beneficial if you have found out more about the job than just what the posting says or what you have learned in the interview. You will want to answer this question by mentioning what you have learned about the job you like.

Tell them something you noticed about their job that you liked, something that would have required you to have researched to learn the specifics, or that you can explain in such a way that it will be evident that you looked deeper into the job than the posting.

It also allows you to explain what caught your interest and shows that you are targeting specific things, making you a better option for displaying your sincere interest and understanding of the job. By pinpointing specific aspects of the job that align with your skills and interests, you demonstrate a strategic approach that can make you a more compelling candidate.

Another predictable question will be, “What is your greatest weakness.” Again, you won’t know if this question is just a time filler or if they will hang you with your answer. The best reply is not to find the worst thing about you and dump it out for all to see. Instead, find a weakness that you conquered. For example, you could say you get so involved in your work that you can miss appointments, but you have found that by using a calendar and always writing assignments down and checking it regularly each day at a specific time, you conquered that. Companies don’t want people who can’t keep appointments. The value of informational interviews is that you can learn more about their approach to interviewing.
