QUESTION 25 OF 30

When you were in school preparing for your career, what was the most difficult subject for you to grasp?

Your answer to this question is not going to give you a 'pass' or 'fail' on your interview. The interviewer is getting to know what you feel are your strengths and weaknesses. Don't be shy about sharing something you may have struggled with. Be sure to share how you overcame that weakness to become successful in the class.

"Without a doubt, college math was my most dreaded subject! I honestly think I have a mental block about math. I did pass the class with a 3.0 average, but it was not easy! I hired a tutor and spent extra time studying. In the end, it was worth it."

"In the beginning, psychology was difficult for me. It took me a while to separate my personal feelings from what I was being taught in some of the classes. I had to take some time and change my way of thinking so that I could understand where certain theories came from and why and then I was able to begin to grasp the course more clearly. Now I love psychology and enjoy studying it.
