During interview if they ask what is your weekness what is best answer we can give?

Answer 1

The "weakness" question is popular with interviewers not because they want to torture you, but because they're interested in hearing how you tackle challenges.

The most important thing to remember is that after you name your weakness, you MUST discuss what you have done to overcome it.

Pick a weakness that is real but understandable or relatively harmless. Whatever weakness you pick, be sure that it is work-related ("I have a tendency to overfeed my dog" is NOT an appropriate weakness) and that you present the strategies for how you overcame it.

Here are a few examples:


"I used to have a tendency to procrastinate. So now I am always sure to set a strict schedule for all of my projects well in advance and I set personal deadlines. This organization has really helped."


"Once in a while, I focus too much on the details of a project. So now, when I'm working on a project, I always make sure at the end of the day to sit back and take a few minutes to think about the general scope of my work. It forces me to keep priorities straight and helps me keep the right mindset."


"I used to have some problems with organization. So now I carry a schedule book around throughout the day and I also use this Palm Pilot to keep me on track. It's worked out great!"

You don't want to pick a weakness that will torpedo your chances -- even your weakness should speak strongly toward your skills. The examples above all address honest weaknesses; here are a few other "safe" weaknesses that are easy to discuss:


I tend to be a perfectionist.
I sometimes work too hard, leading to unnecessary stress.

Answer 2

First and foremost - Be honest/serious.

2ndly: Say things that can be interpreted positively as well, and do what you can to angle it so it seems self-insightfull.

Like:
Statement: I can in peak situations become totally focused on my work, and thereby forget myself.

Add to this the following important part: I am aware that I have to constantly be on guard NOT to ...

Also ... turn something negative that we all do into a positive negative.
- when stress gets high, I always have to be aware not to just become frustrated how little time I have at hand, but actually turn it into momentum. I am very capable of doing so, as long as I adress it regularly.

So ... be honest about your weaknesses, but dont elaborate your weakness too much, instead spend your talking time on how you solve it and regulate it.
