Is this a good one?: "I am kind of a pushover. I hate conflict and when I am in an argument with my family or friends I always take the blame so the fighting will stop. I hate when there is tension between people and I just want everyone to be happy instead of sticking up for myself."
any other ideas?
Job Interview Tips
Recommended Answer:
Stay positive in your answer. A weakness is an opportunity to learn something new and show you can improve yourself. Explain how you overcame it…(took a class, worked with your boss for more training).
These types of questions, the interviewer is waiting for you to say something to screen yourself out of the job. The interviewer needs to find a good fit for their company/department…getting along with people and being positive are good qualities to have. Being a pushover is more of a personality flaw…sure you can overcome it, but it's probably better to keep your answers job related and professional. Don't give them a reason to think you're going to be a future employee problem.
Killer Job Interview Answers For Daunting Job Interview Questions
- Not making up bullsh*t answers and telling the truth is what's best for interviews. Do you really think that employers don't know about those stupid, cliche answers? The reason that most employers (who do THOUSANDS of interviews - how many have YOU done?) ask that question is to see if you are honest or not. All of those things you are talking about are lying, pat answers. They want to see if you are real. EVERYONE has flaws. If YOU were the boss wouldn't you want to known the truth about the people you pick to hire?
- That could be a really bad one, based on the position.
Choose an honest weakness that you have learned to moderate or overcome. Your example is still an active weakness.
