Person help: I have a job interview tomorrow, what should I say is my greatest strength/weakness? - Help.com

well tell us what some of your weaknesses are. You’re mad about chocolate.
and your trying to get a job in a chocolate factory?

perhaps you could try the humor thing. Tell them that one of your weaknesses is
you can’t lift over 190 pounds.

lol. I like the humor approach. but you will still need a safety…i’m thinking.

Sometimes you take your job too seriously?

Tell them you don’t have any Weaknesses.you’re perfect.

If your job is dealing with the public. Tell them that one of your weaknesses
is that you like to please the customer.

You are too tight with money?

“I put work first in my life”

Certain employees would like to think that was an asset. Because they’ll think
that you’re going to be careful with their money as well.

Yes script is not good. And yes the shy person wouldn’t be the best to mention.

What else do you have.

pretend I’m your employer. You walk into the interview.
And I say to you ,” so have you found out what your weaknesses is”
what do you answer.

Hey, wait a minute here there are two of you “blackninjaforev” and “Krysty”
who’s the one who’s really having the interview tomorrow?

not me

well you’re fired.

“My greatest weakness is that I have trouble asking for help, I like to get things done on my own.” or something along those lineseven though it is a blatant lie, because I always ask for help haha

well I think you finally got it.tell him that you like to do things on your own
but you often ask for help.

The weakness being “that you often ask for help”. I like that because it can be
taken two ways. You’re a pain because you ask for help. But also your good employee
because your trying to do it the right way.

your hired.

Make you strength something useful to the company you want to work for (so do your research), and your weakness, whatever it is, should be something you’re trying to improve. Also, make sure you look dapper. I was at SYMS clothing store the other day, and they have some reaaally good looking designer suits at hugely discounted prices. Good luck!
