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.

Describe an invention that changed how people's life - IELTS speaking








Describe an invention that changed how people’s life


You should say:

What it was
When it was invented
How people use it

And explain how it has changed peoples lives






“I think the one invention that has really changed how we live in recent years has to be the smartphone, which really has become an integral part of so many people's lives, as well as an item that most people feel they can’t live without.

I guess the smartphone as we know it today was invented by Apple, and hit the mass market back in about 2007 or 8, which really broke new ground and launched a mobile revolution, quickly becoming the one piece of technology everybody wanted to own.

I think the first way the smartphone changed peoples lives was in how it literally put the internet in everyone's pocket, and completely revolutionised the mobile industry. On top of that, it also put a good camera in our pockets, and made us all aspiring photographers overnight, which also led to a huge rise in the different social media platforms.

I really believe that the smartphone and the apps that go with it changed so much in our lives, even the way people work today, and the way we do business. From posting selfies on facebook and online shopping to work related emails or communication the smartphone really has revolutionised just about everybody's life, from the ordinary joe bloggs to the business bigwigs.

Thank you.”
