How to answer what’s your biggest weakness!

Articulating and preparing for this answer in advance is a good way to approach it. It’s rather tricky but if you are able to tell your weakness by framing it positively, then it’s a win.

Here are some good and bad examples of these answers:

✔️ That I am detail-oriented, hence take a little longer to finish –implying work quality
✔️ I often say ‘yes’, hence I end up taking a lot of work – implying hard work
✔️ I want things done quickly – implying you close deadlines
✔️ I am overly critical of myself – implying your self-aware and you care
❌ I work well alone; I am an introvert– implying less interpersonal skills.
❌ I am a workaholic – implying poor judgment and no social life.
❌ I am afraid of public speaking – implying you’re not confident.
❌ I avoid asking for help – implying you’re not open to feedback.
❌ I hate following up – implying you are not accountable.

Spinning this with a real-life story from your past experiences will add authenticity.
