In this video, "What are your weaknesses? - Sample Answer", Linda Raynier shows you how to communicate job weaknesses by using an example of a weakness for an interview. Weaknesses in job interview is a very common question that is asked and you want to be prepared by knowing what your weakness in job interview is. To understand your greatest weakness interview answers, you need to know it's not a personality trait. Weaknesses for an interview are based on a certain context. Watch the video to figure out your interview weakness answers.
You need to know several things about weaknesses:
1. 1) Your weakness is NOT equal a personality trait
2. 2) Your weakness is NOT a strength in disguise
Then follow 3 steps that will help you to assess what your weaknesses are.
Bonus:
Here are some helpful lines to get you started:
“In situations where ______(insert your context/situation here)”
“I have tended or tend to ___________(insert the way you exhibit this weakness, not the weakness itself)”
“This has made me appear ______(insert weakness here”
“As a result, I’ve learned to be cognizant of this fact and no longer ______(insert the way you exhibit this weakness)”“Instead, I now _____(insert your solution that resolves this weakness)”
This has resulted in ___(insert your successful results)”

Linda Raynier What if your weakness is much more general/open. I truly believe my weakness is encountering a process that I lack adequate knowledge to handle without assistance. It seems like a strength for a weakness after you described what weaknesses are not. Now I am questing if it's an appropriate response to this interview question.

Don't be nervous for an interview. Just study up on the company, have confidence, know your work history, recall stories, relate your work history to the job, have questions to ask at the end. If you don't get it, so be it. Don't take it personal. Life's too short and the world is chaos. Just be happy. Keep plugging away.

I have an interview tomorrow, I'm nervous. I hope I will get a job offer.
I usually just patch things up by saying my weakness is I can get a little scatterbrained because I'm usually handling many tasks at the same time. I always follow it with a solution, such as "--which is why I'm always keeping meticulous notes and constantly updating my agendas; it keeps me on top of things."
I changed two jobs in last 1 and half year and I refer to Linda's videos both the time. they asked me this question and the best answer I came up with is, " For me it is very hard to say NO, I want to explore more and learn more so every time my teammates asks for a favor I tend to say yes and always end up with more responsibilities, that also one of the reason I am quite efficient now with time management and apart from that I get chance to work with the teammate, get to know the person" I think it is a great answer.

I am having a mock job interview as an assignment next week and I am going to say this: "Well, I used to have some problems with properly communicating with others because I was a shy and enclosed person. For example, I would be nervous when presenting a project to a group of people, or meeting new people. 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."

I've watched your two videos so far and based on among all the other videos I've watched on interview, yours is far superior and clear and precise to the point of importance. Thank you so much.
03:04 - Brainstorm and make a list of your past and current concerns that you have about yourself. 03:29 - Highlight the weaknesses that tend to occur only in a certain context or situation. It's not something that happens all the time. 03:49 - Pick 1 current and 1 past weakness and develop individual stories for each.
Linda, I just interviewed this week using your strategy. It worked like a charm. I felt very comfortable and authentic using it and the interviewers responded well to my answer. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your VERY PRACTICAL EXPERTISE!
your commentary on having a personal brand pretty much nails it! Thanks for such a great overall understanding of how to sell yourself via storytelling and confidence in who we are, what we have to offer, and getting past the "oh, I don't have any experience for this job"
I've watched dozens of videos and you are by far the best. Real examples and helps. Thank you.

Maria Kenny I am not sure how much you want to make sure you are doing a lot more fun
In a situation where I get to learn new things I have tended to ask many doubts this made me appear extra enthusiastic . As a result I have learned to research first and started asking valid doubts. And this helped a lot for me and my team members too..
This is the best KZread channel for someone who are preparing herself/himself for an interview. I like that she wrote concrete answers for it and make understandable the answers.
Hi Linda, when I was applying for my first job back in 2018 it was because of your videos why I got hired. I have a job interview tomorrow and I am rewatching your videos! Thank you so much for all that you do!
I like how you framed the weakness as a transient quality that only comes up in certain situations instead of an always occurring character trait, because it really is only temporary. When you recognize it and takes steps to improve, it’s no longer a problem 👍
This has to be the very best explained suggested answer for this particular interview question I have ever heard AND 40+ years old. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you Linda Raynier. I watched many of your videos before my recent job interview. And I got the job using much of the advice that you had given.
I've watched several KZread channels about the same topic but your explanation and examples have made this more clear for me. Thank you, from 2 years in the future.
Perfect timing to find your channel Linda. I'm rejoining the work force after 10 years at home raising children. I'm terrible at interviews and terrified to say the least. Thank you for the valuable tips. 🙂
I wish I had discovered your videos BEFORE I interviewed this week! They are very helpful and offer practical advice and tips that would have greatly helped me during my interviews. In addition, they are very well done - great job!
Thank you for addressing this question. I am very happy to finally get good and solid information on how to address the "weakness" question. Your explanation is very open and sounds very much accountable and confident that I would be a person that is always open to improving my professional development.
Your work in this channel is extraordinary, I was searching for some videos for a friend that is searching for a job. I have never seen such a concise and direct way to improve.
I once said in an interview that my weakness is that i have handwriting like a Doctor and it's dreadful. the interviewer looked at me and said my mom is a Doctor and i just laughed out LOUD " Said sorry for laughing " then the other 3 people Laughed... I got the job purely on that i think lol

I am practicing for an interview for entrance into a Sonography program. I took your advice and formulated a weakness "area for growth". I need to know if my answer will hinder me from getting into the program because I am being too honest or if it would help me shine bright and win the interviewers over.... This is what I am thinking about using for my weakness question. In the past, learning and retaining new material was a challenge for me. I did not always make the grades I knew I could make. Given that I noticed this was such a challenge for me, I decided to change the way I studied new and challenging material. Thanks to those changes I could study in a way that worked for me. Learning and retaining information became more natural because I had a better understanding of how to process new information. As a result, I started making A’s in classes I once struggled in, while helping those around me who once struggled with new material also. I am proud to say that I look forward to learning new and challenging material know.

I realize this question was posted 2yrs ago but I wanted to take a moment to comment on your acknowledgement of sometimes "being too honest". I TOTALLY understand that struggle bug after reading your post, I think you sort of answered your question yourself without even realizing it. You gave me some amazing insight anyway! :-) I think it is not only acceptable but I think it's admirable to admit a shortcoming that could prove to be detrimental to a job, just as long as you have processed it. What I mean is you have acknowledged the weakness, you have analyzed it, and you have brought about a solution that has proven to successfully turn your weakness into a strength! AWESOME!
I stumbled on this video 2 hours before my interview, and I'm glad I did. It helped me with my responses to the panel of interviewers, I'm so excited and hopeful. I look forward to coming back with great news that I got the job. You're doing an amazing job, please don't stop. Your tips are clear and practical... Thank you for all the tips.

So did you get the job?
Thank you for making this video and laying out how to talk about weaknesses constructively and fairly. It used to be that whenever I had a job interview, I'd hope this was one of the last questions the interviewer asked. 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. Thanks again.
This is one of the best in this genre I hope you to listen to all of your videos and get a new job soon, real soon, this week or next week.
No words to say.This video just helped me how to answer for a question about weakness.Thankyou Ma'm.
I’m going with “In the past I have given too much responsibility to junior staff. In one example they were overloaded with work, and did not get the job done right. I have worked to resolve this issue by making myself more available to my team, and letting them know they can feel comfortable approaching me about things they are not confident in doing.” Even though I am not applying for a management role, I think I’m using this.

Thank you so much for this tip! It really helped me assess my professional weaknesses and gain more confidence in my ability to articulate them effectively.
Very helpful advice. Summary of the good advice: A weakness is not a personality trait. A weakness is not a strength in disguise. A weakness is situational, it's something you are aware of and you've taken steps to address it. Example: "When I have a problem that warrants urgent attention I like to address it quickly. It was pointed out to me by a coworker once that I had a tendency to send an email and then show up at their desk 10 minutes later. I'm pretty sure I adopted that habit from my manager actually." How did you fix it? "I found the '!' button on outlook and if I need something quickly I'll give a little information about why it's important and I started following what I call the 30% rule, which is I try to estimate when I need something by and then I give an estimate that is 30% shorter than that, and most times I'll get it by the time I need it." Exercises @ 3:16 Template: When ______ situation comes up at work, I tend to _________. Follow with a story.
I think you should re-do some of your videos. Such as "What are your weaknesses - Sample Answer *for people with little to no work experience.* "
@TheBigpapax30

Good point Also some professional recruiter advice me that when you get ask questions, NOT necessarily your answers have to be "work related " when you haven't been in that scenario. You have to set your mind in -what you would do in that situation? Or -give answers in personal matters. There are plenty candidates out there, like you mentioned, without experience or not familiar in that area. The idea is to provide YOUR CORRECT engaging, actions to solve a problem...if we are talking about more advanced/senior knowledge is way different. Be realistic and embrace your capability to learn something new

My last interview I was asked what my weaknesses were. I looked at him and told him, "the best way to know my weaknesses would be to contact a former supervisor". (As far as I am concerned, they are the best ones to ask that lame question.) BTW, the guy interviewing me laughed when I told him that. And he even offered me the job!
Your videos are the best resources for interviews I googled on line. Nice work and thanks a lot.

One of my favorite interviews I’ve had because of your fill in the blank weakness question!
_"What are Your Weaknesses?"_ I am extremely tolerant of cretinous questions.

I have the same thought, but am working on ways to convey my distaste for that question without torpedoing my chances of getting hired.
Since then I know my weakness I'm too perfectionist 😔 coz I'm afraid to get in trouble and I want everything to be perfect, in organize and everything is well done
Thank you so much, Ms. Linda, for your beneficial advice.
Brilliant advice! Used this example in my interviews and worked wonders! Thank you
Think about a time you were criticized. It's hard for a strong minded person to notice their own weakness. Use that person's criticism of you or your work at any time in your life tell that story and tell how that criticism fuels you to kick but every day. Mamba style
Hello Linda, I must say this is the best answer I have ever had regarding any interview. I was always torn apart as to which is truly a more logical and reasonable answer. I will be using this in the future. You are very clear, passionate, articulate and straight to the point. Thank you indeed! :)

Hi Linda! This is not only the most difficult, its the most important question to be asked. A friend of mine added if the interviewer ask this question. She stated to reply such as: "Glad that you asked that question!" So in turns the employer not on themselves, but on you. Thanks Linda for one of many great videos!
Great work readiness videos. Extremely helpful and I love the clarity of your explanations.
What are your weaknesses? I'm not good at interviews.
Wow. You put a lot of content into your videos. Don't stop. I would be interested to know, what is your weakness?

Thank you for your video. I had my interview today and this was one of the questions that was asked. I ended using this to formulate my response.
Your job and interview videos are the best.
omg this is what i've always struggled to answer
Is there any short answer or short sentence? The longer I talk the more I get mistakes.

i have so many terrible and chronic weaknesses. i'm slow and don't have a sense of urgency, therefore I'm terrible at time management and organization of tasks. I'm also forgetful. Sometimes i'm very attentive, but i feel like i'm mostly floating in space. I procrastinate SOOOOO much and I'm late 90% of the time. I'm also kind of awkward and can't speak well. I am not good at making others feel comfortable especially when I'm intimidated or unfamiliar with others. did I mention I procrastinate? A LOT? *sigh* i feel like crying in the corner of a dark cave... i never got great grades... my peak was in elementary and middle school and then it got worse later in high school and horrible in college... and now i'm older than everyone and have nothing going for me

The video has helped me to understand how to describe my weakness for the question (Academic weakness ) for college acceptance letter. Thanks.
Linda, thank you sooo much for these amazing tips!
Can I say overthinking would be one of my weaknesses ?
Say "Carbs" then hold your hand up for a high-5 saying "Who's with me?"

I don't mean to be rude but your answers are incredibly lengthy and I'm not sure how to shorten the answer in order to not sound robot or like I am repeating the answers.
