what's your worst flaw?

i hate that interview question...whats your best answer to that one?

"Perhaps my only flaw is that I am too perfect, and work too hard".

Be careful what you answer on that question. If you answer truthfully, and it's an actual flaw, you could be in trouble
You: "Oh my flaw is that I'm really lazy, and have to be pushed to do everything"
Interviewer: "NEXT!"

got asked that one recently thought i got by it ok, said something to the effect of:

With the ever changing face of technology and in particular technolgy in Ireland, many job positions are being merged with others, i find that its increaseingly diificult to become knowledgeable in many different fields. Being a student, it`s hard to find the time to constantly upkeep with technolgical advances across the board, so my flaw would be that.

Either that or i rob stuff from offices, un trustworthy, unreliable etc.

i tend to say things like

my biggest problem is concentrating on one issue too much, sometimes to the detriment of other, less important issues.

Most bosses will like the sound of 'honesty'

ie: Honesty is my biggest flaw, it is a double edged sword, etc, etc

"Sometimes I tend to find myself unable to approach an answer to uncertain questions. If I don't know what to say, or what the person asking me wants to hear, I find its better to admit as much and simply reply with an equally unsatisfying and uncertain answer."

They say you should give a flaw that's an over-strength, like WWMan's.

yankinlk

some of these are very good...anyone have more?
I was curious because I didnt want to go into the next interview giving exactly the same answer as the other four people im up against.

"They say you should give a flaw that's an over-strength, like WWMan's."

I've always played it this way and wondered was it too cheesy...i think the question is a bit retarded.

Blitzkrieger

I agree. I'd say they're hoping to catch you off-gaurd and pressure you into giving a genuine fault, or maybe just see if you can lie convincingly

Aspro

It's an annoying question alright. Just bullshít your way through, hype yourself up and lie if you have to. Don't you just hate interviews?

My worst flaw is that i dont acknowledge my flaws, i will have a shot at anything

:cool:

I always say, I have the need to get every task I'm given done as quickly as possible, which can tend to cause me a little stress at times, but it's the way I work best.

what a load of b/s!
