Question 4 of 40

What is one of your weaknesses and what do you do to help address/resolve it?

"I know you may not think this about someone who has chosen a career as a medical office manager, but one of my weaknesses is that I often get nervous around people I don't know. I know we all do that to a certain degree, but for me, it became something that I was very aware of. I now try to attend social activities where I know there are going to be opportunities to meet new people so that I can overcome social anxiety."

      How to Answer

      This is probably one of the most dreaded questions in a job interview. Answering this question requires self evaluation and honesty. Remember, whatever weakness you decide to share, make sure it is not a key characteristic needed to perform your job as a medical office manager.

      Answer Example

      "I think one of my biggest weaknesses is that I can get sidetracked easily. I recognize that in myself and have made a conscious effort to plan my day as much as possible and to stay on target."

      Experienced Example

      "My biggest weakness has to be that I take on too many projects at once. While being involved and participating in various things is fun and can be good for a person, I tend to take on several things and then leave some projects unfinished. I have begun to limit myself to only taking on a few projects at a time so that I can devote the necessary time to staying on task."

      "I think my biggest weakness is that I lack experience but I can address this by reading more as I am a bookworm and watching and learning from other experienced nurses while gaining experience."

      Jaymie's Feedback

      Your response addresses the weakness of lacking experience and provides a reasonable strategy for overcoming it. However, to make it more effective, you might consider framing it to emphasize your proactive approach to continuous learning and development.
      "I would say my relative lack of experience, especially compared to more seasoned nurses. However, I approach this as an opportunity for growth rather than a limitation. I am a dedicated learner and a bookworm, so I'm actively working on overcoming this by reading extensively to deepen my theoretical knowledge. Additionally, I seek opportunities to observe and learn from experienced nurses, leveraging their expertise to enhance my practical skills. I'm committed to continuous learning and am confident that, over time, my hands-on experience will complement my theoretical knowledge, making me a well-rounded and competent nurse."
