What Are Your Greatest WEAKNESSES? Interview Question and 4 SAMPLE ANSWERS. You might dislike this question, you may think it's pointless but there is a huge chance of being asked a Weaknesses related question during your interview. So it’s definitely a question which you should carefully prepare. No candidate wants to confess their flaws during the interview and that’s what Recruiters and hiring managers are completely aware of, that’s exactly what they expect! So they continue asking “What are your weaknesses” and 90% of candidates continue making the same mistakes while responding to it. You may not know it, but even the way you respond to Weaknesses Question and not the response itself, already gives a lot of information about you.

“What are your greatest weaknesses or what are your biggest weaknesses?” Can be asked in different ways:
What are your most important development areas?
What would your manager or colleagues describe as your biggest weakness if I speak to them?
Which tasks or duties do you struggle with?
Is there a skill set of yours which you feel still needs work?
Tell me about a development goal that you have set.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

These may sound as a completely different questions, but the idea behind is exactly the same. Don’t ever say you don’t have any development areas, because such response immediately translates into the lack of your ability to learn and to grow, which is what EVERY company looks for in candidates. The hardest part of speaking about your biggest weaknesses is finding a balance in your response. These are 5 steps to talk about your weaknesses without endangering your candidacy. Find out what is your biggest/greatest weakness which you should mention in your job interviews. Prepare your honest and authentic weaknesses response which will get you that job offer.

You'll easily prepare your honest and authentic response following these steps:
Step 1. Analyze your development areas.
Make a list of 2 or 3 things you would like to improve or the ones you are working on.
Your weakness should be related to your professional competencies and skills. Don’t use answers like “I don’t exercise” or “I don’t speak English (or any other language) well”. They say nothing at all, they also lack any analytical skills.
2. Don’t try to disguise a strength as a weakness. You’ll find videos and articles which tell you to “turn a negative into a positive” by sharing a weakness that is actually a desirable quality in an employee...
