    Talking about my flaws used to make me feel ashamed of my mistakes and guilty about my inadequacies, so this question was a turning point in every interview. My attitude became, 'I'm a screw-up, I don't deserve this interview, and I'm wasting this person's time,' so I hoped for the chance to answer other questions before this one. With your advice, I think I can improve the way I answer this question and the impact it has on my attitude. So thanks again.

    I would say my biggest weakness is being introverted I am fine with customers, but not my colleagues and some people I meet so much. One thing I hate right now, is socialising and mixing with my work friends out of work. I get really anxious and just want to leave as soon as I arrive if invited out. Or make an excuse that I am busy or something. I really enjoy your videos Marat

    • @myemmotion

    I have grown to learn and develop my improved communication skills over the span of my middle school years until now while experiencing times when I am speaking with strangers or even larger groups of people. Now I feel as if I still have very minor problems with communication, such as minor stuttering but I feel like I can learn to fix it.

    Thanks for this video Marat. I have always had trouble figuring out how to answer this question properly because I thought weaknesses was a personality trait and a strength in disguise. But you have said that it is not so this helps me to shift my focus to think of examples. The ones you mentioned help a lot to think about situations to frame my answer properly.

    • @myemmotion

I’ve been a hairstylist for 15 years changing careers to admin went to school for it. Soooo I don’t really work with other people, have bosses or deadlines. But I know how to deal with crazy clients and be a therapist. My real weakness is I’m very sensitive

      I hope the interview went well. I think you can easily come up with an example related to your work, even if you work by yourself, there are always ways to get organized and interact with clients. Things you must have been less productive in the past. Give it a few thoughts and your answer is there!

    Hi! I found very useful this video long time ago. But recently recruiter ask me a little challenging alternative of such question. Not a weakness but what kind of mistake you have done. And I'm struggle with that. Because I never did dramatic mistakes but it could also mean that I don\t recognize my mistake. How do deal with such alternative?

    • @myemmotion
      @myemmotion  4 года назад +1

      Glad it was helpful! Regarding a mistake, it shall always be example of a mistake you made which made you learn and start doing things differently. It could be related to anything from your career or studies, think of something specific and keep it as an example for future.
      The video I made on Competency Based Questions and Answers have some examples just in case if you need further inspiration.
