Коридор затмений 🌒 🌒    A2 - B1

Hi, everyone, Today I'm going to give you the best and the real life example answer to What are you weaknesses question?
Welcome to "Career Insights," the podcast where we explore essential career advice and strategies to help you succeed in the workplace. I'm your host, Anthony, and today we're diving into a common but tricky interview question: "What are your weaknesses?"

Understanding the Purpose
First, it's important to understand why interviewers ask this question. They want to see if you:
Have self-awareness: Can you identify areas where you need improvement?
Are honest and transparent: Are you willing to acknowledge your imperfections?
Are proactive about personal development: Do you take steps to address your weaknesses?
Choosing the Right Weakness
When selecting a weakness to discuss, consider the following:
Relevance: Choose a weakness that is relevant but not critical to the job you're applying for. For example, if you're applying for a financial analyst position, you might not want to highlight a weakness in attention to detail.
Authenticity: Be genuine. Interviewers can often tell if you're being insincere or giving a cliché answer.
Improvement: Select a weakness that you are actively working on improving. This shows initiative and a growth mindset.
