I always use the fact that I am super critical of myself as a weakness. I am always looking for feedback and ways to improve and sometimes re-analyze choices after the fact so that I continuously learn.

I always felt it was good to bring up your pets or hobbies outside work because it shows them how you decompress. It also really seals the deal if the hiring manager has the same interests as you. The job is yours at that point
