Answer:
You may be asked about your strengths and weaknesses in one question or you may be asked about them in two separate questions. In the event that you are asked about strengths and weaknesses at the same time, discuss your weaknesses first so that you can end on a positive note.
When addressing your weaknesses, draw upon examples relating to either skills/habits or personality traits. You may want to choose which to focus on depending on the type of job you’re interviewing for. For example, discussing a skill/habit may be highly relevant for a technical position. For a sales or customer service role, your interviewer may be more interested in hearing about your personality traits. Neither choice is strictly wrong or right. Reread the job description for clues on what may matter most for this specific role.
The formula for your answer is easy to follow. First, state your weakness. Second, add additional context and a specific example or story of how this trait has emerged in your professional life. That context will give potential employers insight into your level of self-awareness and commitment to professional growth. In the example answers below, you’ll see the weakness followed by context sentences in italics.
