Caracta:
Tip: When you mention a weakness, never forget to mention what you are doing about the weakness. It shows you admit your fault, can take responsibility for your action and also yearn to grow and develop yourself.

For example, "I am a bit slow because I love accurate and a perfect job but I try to put this in check by setting deadlines and daily goals & also constantly reassuring myself that I have the ability to do things with speed and accuracy irrespective of the situation".

OR

"I am not time-conscious because I dwell too much on important tasks but I put this in check by using my alarm clock, reminder, online calendar and a time-check journal including friends . Once I get a beep, I know the clock is ticking."

Don't even bother to pretend you don't have a weakness. We all do, except you are a robot. I've never lied about mine and it boosts confidence

Dont ever say you are slow or not time concsious. You simply can't spin that as it's a red flag
Just use the perfectionist buzz word instead

Hey Cara.
Actually, one should check the weakness one spills as it relates to the role. The best bet is to have answers prepared before hand to be on the safe side, yeah?

Caracta:


True that. Perfectionist is a better word...though it has been opposed a few times. I avoided it because someone challenged me on it. These things can be two-faced sometimes. Bottom line- be yourself...even if you are a thief, at least you are honest enough to admit it, that's a plus

jaybee3:

What was the challenge?
I mean it's not uncommon to have robust processes which sometimes add extra layers to quality assurance process. This is same as being a perfectionist as in one always trying hard to ensure consistency of approach and in turn effective/efficent delivery of results.

Caracta:


Some believe perfection is far-fetched and an illusion. An efficient job doesn't necessarily mean a perfect job. Outstanding result is the goal even if the edges are rough.

I used to be a perfectionist. I'm still one slightly. My former boss was very disorganized and would tell you the 100 defects of a perfectionist. Just don't mention that word near him. I've never seen his type before. Perhaps he died of perfection in his former life.

Three7Ty9:


LOL! Classic.

jaybee3:

Perfection is simply eradicating posibility of errors or better still reducing the margin of error to the bare minimum. Though hard to achieve but easy to embed into working practice and standards. That's why we have proper Quality Assurance where standards are set and results are delivered to specification

You have to be a perfectionist in safety critical roles.

I'm actually doing a presentation on quality assurance in a few days
