"What"s your greatest weakness?" This question has been a weapon frequently used by the hiring manager during a job interview, but most people still have trouble with the dilemma..(进退两难的境地), it causes: answer too frankly, and you may lose your opportunity. Provide a prepared answer, and you"ll give a false impression, or worse, seem dishonest by saying, "My greatest weakness is that I work too hard."
"It"s a tricky question," admits Andrea Kay, a career advisor. "I would suggest that you be ready for it, anticipate it, because it is still a question that gets asked over and over again." You may use the strategy of mentioning a non-existent "weakness". But you must be cautious and try to name only weaknesses that have little to do with the job you.re applying for. Or you can name a real weakness, but one you.re taking steps to improve. Of course, you can always choose not to answer the question at all or ask the interviewer to rephrase..(换句话问) the question. But you must be warned: each of these strategies can have drawbacks..(缺点).
"Not everybody"s great at everything," Kay said. "But you don"t say .I don"t get along well with people. You don"t want to go down a path that gets you in trouble. Don"t talk about people"s issues."
So why do hiring managers continue to ask this question, with all the dangers to the applicant. Is it fair?
"Absolutely!" said a hiring director. "If raised correctly, it is one of those questions that can open the door for further discussion."
