Probably a standard interview question, but what would YOU say?

Being a male human.

(Being stuck with all the evolutionary garbage that's no longer relevant to a modern culture, think we should get a partition up for God to redesign us)

Just pick one Suze?

Well I have a weakness for women windsurfing champions from Rove, and wherever else you hang about. Its not a serious weakness. I don't suffer a lot. Its more a mild discomfort. Ahhh.

I might have a new friend. I'm not sure. I may have just shot myself in the foot. We'll see.

Sooz, do you mean weakness as in (1) what we cannot resist (eg chocolate) or
(2) what is our physical flaw / downfall (eg: a wooden leg or Kryptonite allergy)

I'll do both cos I'm a rebel.

(1) Agree with Mineral. Women.

(2) being the most discriminated against person in society: a white, caucasian, heterosexual male with a full time job. Get nothin for free from Govt or anyone. [}:)]

I don't have one!
That's if you're asking my alter-ego that frequently visits these pages...because I am invincible!

In reality...as far as my physical/mental weakness...there's not enough room on this screen.

backhand bottom turn.

I work for myself now and jeeeesus those interviews by govt workers for govt jobs suck. I never lasted long in the govt employment. I'm helping my wife with her annual appraisal for her govt job. The question is "what are your goals for the next 12 months" I suggested " to work less and get paid more ."

But considering the govt is cutting 3% maybe its better to just stick with the standard. "work hard and diligently for the good of all"

No no guys. What would you say if you were asked that question in an interview??? Would you tell them??? Like if you tell them, can't they exploit those weaknesses??? Like for example, one job I took on was supposed to be 3 days a week and I ended up doing 6 days a week cos I didnt want to disappoint the boss. Well you cant tell the next prospective boss that!

So what do you say???? My friend says my weakness is that I am a windsurfing fanatic but you see, I see that as a strength. Unless I am at work and the wind is blowing.

So do you tell them you have no weaknesses, or what?

My weakness is my inability to disclose my weaknesses.
Oh, it's no longer a weakness!

In that case I'd tell them it's a stupid question, how many truthful answers do they think they'll get?
And my weakness is being too honest

I just tell them something that can also be easily turned around into a positive. Then I tell them the positive side of my weakness, just in case they dont see it for themselves. Maybe that is my weakness, everyone else sees things different to me, so I constantly have to spell things out...

Many have said that I dont know when to say NO or STOP.
Is that a weakness?
I cant open up a bag of lollies or chips and just have one or two bites. I have to finish the whole lot. I can eat a block of chocolate or 2L tub of icecream no worries.

Oh workplace weakness questions. The usual response, determined to get the job done, overachiever, play to win, (insert cliche here)

If any interviewer asked me what my weakness was I'd feel like telling them I lie when people ask me what my weakness is. What the hell are you going to tell them? That you look forward to the end of the week's work. That you often get frustrated and annoyed when you have a new problem to fix, despite the fact thats a normal part of the problem solving process?

Still has to be women
If a bloke is doing interview, he will understand
If a lady is doing interview, I wouldn't tell her but then again, if I was quick on sussing her out, maybe I would

I bet if your significant other sees these posts she'd be more than willing to point out a few of your weaknesses
