What is your biggest weakness?

Learn how to get past through this question during jobs interview

Attending interviews for a job is part and parcel of corporate life. Most of us take due care and prepare ourselves with prospective questions that will help us navigate the interview in a professional manner.

One question that stumps most interviews is when they are asked about their biggest weakness. it is important to answer this question without getting stuck. All of us have weaknesses and there is wrong in admitting about them. Unlike in other times in a job interview it is important to answer this question In a professional manner that will establish yourself as the right candidate.

Smart candidate always turn a weakness into a strength  For  example, too much attention to detail can be stated as a weakness which might be strength by many organizations. You can provide examples that will strengthen your proposition.

Certain people highlight a weakness and follow it up with examples of how they have overcome the same. My friend, Mr. Om Mehta of Avant Consulting, gave me an example of how one of his team members made effective use of the exhibitions that place in Dubai to enhance his knowledge base and overcome his lack of knowledge.

Remember the objective during an interview is to highlight your positive traits rather than your negative ones. Highlighting this aspect portrays the candidate as a person who takes interest   in his career growth

Also remember that it is important to tackle this question in a positive manner. I have seen instances where some candidates have stated that they do not have any major weaknesses. this will never help the candidate create the right impression. The interview is the first step towards a better career and make sure you are well prepared.
