And what do I do if I sincerely feel I don’t have any weaknesses that pertain to this job?

Thanks for the post.However, I want to clear out things here.
What ever I have written here, doesnt mean the same ‘type’ is there in my resume as well.
The intention was not to look at the spellings here but to know what you think, about my thoughts on the topic.Is it fine to think and quote such a way in an interview?
I am not that bad in spellings, but I hope you got the message.Dont think that I will write my cover letter or the resume this way.

Happy new year!

My apologies if this is an inappropriately sassy response to your post. Most of the time I ignore this type of thing; but in your case, I can’t resist my urge to address it.

Your spelling of a shockingly large amount of words is ridiculous! Please stop.

‘bcoz’
‘cud’
‘r’
‘u’
‘luk’
‘luv 2′

Are you kidding me? This is not English.

I highly recommend you take a second glance at your resume and cover letter to make sure none of these atrocities are included in the first impression you are giving to potential employers.

If they are, don’t worry about being asked what your greatest weakness is - they’ll already know.

The converse advice applies: Describe strengths that allow you and the company to determine the level of fit. “I love to work with numbers” is a much better answer than “I work hard.” The first is specific and its value depends on the nature of the job. The second is general and pretty much applies to any job.

If someone asked me, I’d tell them:

“I’m really good at understanding complex issues and explaining them in simple ways. I can read and write exceptionally fast and well. I’m very good at persuading people to do what makes sense, but not very good at fooling people.”

Certainly we can say lot about strengths, but is there any specific sequence that needs to be followed to avoid any trap.

Thanks

There are companies from which I would not like the offer to be rejected, just bcoz I quoted my weaknesses which they dont like.A practical scenario wont allow my mind to do that.There cud be ‘n’ number of reasons for me to join that company.

A safe play would be to quote a weakness which,if looked from a different perspective, indirectly turns to be your strengths.Answers such as..I trust the people easily is one of them. or sometimes engaged too much in work…such examples will make the people think who r sitting on the other side of table…r these actually weakness..and yes they are if u luk from one perspective.
Would luv 2 see what you all think about this.

Maybe I’ll go for the honest answer today, and when asked what my weakness is, just say, “Interviewing.”

I answered “I’m not going to answer this, i’ve given it no thought in my entire life” I said.

“But just try and answer it” she said.

“A human I suppose”. I said

“No, but an animal” the HR person said.

“Humans are animals, no?”

I didn’t score well, but was offered the job anyhow. But those questions were a sign to me that the job was not for me.

If a company asks your weaknesses say something that you’ve already said you’d like to improve upon. It will create one of those phony “aha!” moments.

Or just be honest and say that you dislike ineffective and overpaid management like everyone else.

Enjoy your walk to the parking lot.
