You know it’s coming: At some point, a job interviewer will look you in the eye and ask about your biggest weakness. The interviewer has heard them all before, of course. In a bid to keep things lively, he or she might frame the question in a different way, such as:
- What skill do you want to improve while in this role, if you’re hired?
- What’s your second-biggest weakness?
- What would your previous employer say about your weaknesses?
- I’m a perfectionist.
- I’m too detail-oriented.
- I’m a workaholic.
- I’m bad at public speaking.
