QUESTION 29 OF 30

What do you think your best and worst qualities are?

No one wants to share anything negative about themselves. However, any honest person will admit that they have good and bad characteristics. The important thing is recognizing the things that may need improvement and being willing to address them. Share your qualities with the interviewer, and remember, when sharing any quality that could be improved, explain how you are working to make a change.

Focus on describing a 'bad' quality that the interviewer can construe as a good one. For example, you can say that you are willing to take on many projects, but you end up becoming a workaholic.

"I would have to say that one of the things I'd like to improve about myself and that most people recognize about me is I always want to be the 'fixer.' While I know that this is not always a negative thing, I have often let the fact that I couldn't fix a certain situation trouble me. On a lighter note, I believe I have a positive, outgoing personality. I enjoy getting to know others and like to make them feel comfortable."
