    Question for y'all

    What do you respond to this interview question:

    "what is your biggest weakness"?

    (please don't say "I am a perfectionnist, blah blah blah"...cuz I ain't one and it sounds like the biggest lie ever)

    Thank you!

    ' Balancing my strict work ethos of paying attention to detail at all time's with the ability to meet deadlines, and woman with big tit's who can suck a golfball thru 20ft of hose '

    You can edit out the last bit if you want though..

    The weakness is paying too much attention to detail and that ultimately conflicts with deadlines.

    You then have to demonstrate a scenario where you have then over come this weakness. I suggest taking a lower grade golf ball, Titliest would just be showing off, use a Dunlop matchpro 1 .

    Again, thank you.

    Ian :lol: :lol:

    Biggest Weakness?

    Late to work, leaving early, looooong lunches, gossiping about coworkers, talking behind the bosses back, making disparaging remarks about the company, sleeping with the bosses wife, just to name a few….
    :p

    Here you go, this is what I was trying to refer too,

    "What is your greatest weakness?"

    Be careful with this one. Most interview guides will tell you to answer it with a positive trait disguised as a weakness. For example, "I tend to expect others to work as hard as I do," or "I'm a bit of a perfectionist." Interviewers have heard these "canned" answers over and over again. To stand out, be more original and state a true weakness, but then emphasize what you've done to overcome it. For example: "I've had trouble delegating duties to others because I felt I could do things better myself. This has sometimes backfired because I'd end up with more than I could handle and the quality of my work would suffer. But I've taken courses in time management and learned effective delegation techniques, and I feel I've overcome this weakness."

    IMPORTANT: Be sure the weakness you talk about is NOT a key element of the position!



    No mention of Golf balls or hot women though so you'll have to adapt that bit in depending on what job your going for.

    HTH
