How to address my weaknesses?
Most interviewers will put you on the spot about your lack of skill. Talking about your weaknesses is neither pleasant nor easy, but don’t worry. You can still come out on top by preparing for these ques-tions.
They might ask you about your worst personality trait or your weakest skill. Present your shortcomings as something positive. Here’s an example: “I get impatient when others in my team lag behind with work.” Or “I tend to get unsociable when I concentrate on my work.”
When a hiring manager asks you about your biggest incompe-tence, pick a skill you think you’re good at but didn’t have a chance to develop yet. Say something like: “I’m still working on this skill and I can tell from my progress I will get good at it.”
