QUESTION 1 OF 30

What is your greatest weakness?

This question is a great opportunity to put a positive spin on something negative. Don't answer the interviewer with something clichà "“ joking or not. Instead, try to use a real example of a weakness you have learned to overcome. Choose a skill as your weakness as you can learn skills. Avoid describing a characteristic as your weakness as it is harder to change someone.

Since then, my public speaking has improved, I've learned my job even better and my customer service skills are always improving."
