  • - What are your weaknesses?

  • One of the most common questions you'll get

  • during an interview when you're applying for a job.

  • Now, over the years,

  • I have asked this question to so many applicants

  • and I am shocked by the answers.

  • So today I'm gonna teach you how

  • to answer that question properly.

  • First, let's talk about what you don't do.

  • So when your employer, your interviewer is asking you,

  • so what are your weaknesses?

  • Oh, I have none.

  • Don't ever say that.

  • It is a lie.

  • You know it's a lie, I know it's a lie.

  • When people say that, I just say get out of here,

  • don't let the door hit you on the way out

  • when you say I have none.

  • And don't say, well, I never thought about it

  • or no one ever asked me that.

  • Seriously, no one ever asked you that?

  • Maybe you think you're being smart with the ply.

  • Don't do that.

  • It just shows you are dishonest

  • and also it shows you you lack self awareness.

  • Those are not good answers.

  • Also, here are the ones I hear all the time

  • that are also it's a big no-no.

  • I'm kind of a workaholic

  • and a bit too much of a perfectionist.

  • Give me a break.

  • Don't try to turn it and put a positive spin on it

  • when you're being asked what are your weaknesses.

  • Another one I hear all the time, oh I love people,

  • I love working with people.

  • Really, I don't like you that much right now.

  • Okay, that's not good.

  • That's not what you do.

  • So here's how you answer, what are your weaknesses?

  • The key is don't make that about your personality.

  • If you're gonna share something,

  • make that about your skill set that you could work on.

  • Here's what I mean by that.

  • When you share something about your personality,

  • to an employer it could feel like,

  • well, I don't know if you could fix that,

  • that maybe it's who you are.

  • But if you make it about a skill set,

  • then it's something that you could work on.

  • So I'll give you an example, what are your weaknesses?

  • Well, you know, I'm more of an introvert

  • and sometimes I notice that I am shy to share my ideas

  • when there's a room of people.

  • Now, see that's a good reply if you are an introvert

  • because here's what's going through my mind.

  • My mind is thinking, okay, this person is shy

  • and introverted and that's okay.

  • So it means that in certain scenario,

  • maybe I need to ask this person more to speak up.

  • I could say, hey, you know what?

  • What do you think of this?

  • Or in my mind I'm also thinking, well, maybe through time

  • once this person becomes more comfortable

  • with everybody else within a company,

  • she could share more ideas.

  • See, that's what's going through my mind.

  • That is fixable.

  • Or maybe this person could go take Toastmasters

  • and develop more confidence

  • and work on her public speaking skills a bit.

  • See, in my mind, all that's fixable.

  • That's fine, that's perfectly fine.

  • Here's another scenario.

  • If you share something about your weaknesses not in terms

  • of your personality, but your skill, but also your plan.

  • What have you been doing to work on it

  • or what are you planning to fix this?

  • So let me give an example, okay.

  • So what are your weaknesses?

  • Well, you know what, I'm a very creative person.

  • I tend to come up with all kinds of ideas and when I get

  • these ideas, I'm very excited and I wanna share that

  • with everybody, all my managers, my coworkers

  • and I love to just to share.

  • And what I realized over the years

  • is sometimes these ideas, sometimes they're good

  • and sometimes they're not so good.

  • So it is something that I know I need to work on how

  • to prioritize some of these ideas and work on filtering.

  • And in fact, recently, I have been reading a few books.

  • One it's called by Richard Koch, 80/20 Principle

  • and also Getting Things Done by David Allen.

  • And through the book,

  • I've picked up a lot of techniques and tools.

  • Now they are helping me to filter out some of these ideas

  • and how do I prioritize if there's something

  • that I'm working on all the time.

  • And of course, I'm always open to any coaching from you

  • that can help me to channel my creativity

  • into higher productions for the company.

  • Boom, you see how that sounds?

  • You are not bragging, you're not lying.

  • You're saying, hey, I know that I've got this problem,

  • I know it's something that I need to work on it,

  • it's something that I am working on and here's my plan

  • and at the end you're asking for coaching.

  • From my perspective as a CEO, as an employer,

  • I know, okay, first of all, you're reading books.

  • Damn, that's a big plus right there.

  • And you're learning, you're self aware

  • and you know what you need to work on and you're coachable.

  • To me, those are all like plus, plus, plus, plus

  • from that simply reply.

  • So what are your weaknesses?

  • Next time when you get this question, what are gonna do,

  • how are you gonna answer it?

  • Comment below.

  • Share with me if someone was to ask you this question,

  • what are your weaknesses, how would you reply

  • to the best of your ability.

  • And also let's collaborate.

  • Maybe my other fans they could see in the comment

  • and see who can come up with the best response.

  • Go ahead and do that.
