My answer I was going to go with is “I am a bit of a perfectionist. Not in the way of everything has to be perfect, but that everything needs to be completed and seen all the way through. I’ve been getting better with it since having kids. There are times I have to be ok with not finishing a project in the time I had planned because the kids need something.” Which is the honest truth. I just want to word it correctly.

What are your opinions on this weakness statement. I have always been a procrastinator, I would always wait till last minute to do things. What I have learned to do to manage procrastinating over the years is to make a list at the beginning of the month. I make a list of my short term goals and long term goals. I look at and do my short term goals everyday and then I look at my long term and prioritize what I need to do first based off of deadlines. This has helped me stay in task and not procrastinate.

While I like the improvement you have stated here, remember we are asking what is your current weakness at this very point. Law enforcement has a significant amount of assignments and self reliance, you can see where I am going with this is I was your board interviewer. Then if you try to state that you have learned to manage and correct it, I would not consider it a weakness in your interview. Hope this helps if you want to run another one by me I be glad to look at it.

My weakness is that I naturally believe in what people say, so until I get conflicting information whether it be from another person or someone contradicting their previous statement(s), I tend to believe that. However, working with customers over the phones at my job, I have been able to pick up on hints of dishonesty (especially through recurring customers that have a history on falling behind with payments.) With people I work with face-to-face on a day-to-day basis, I have been able to pick up on subtle habitual tendencies that may stretch the truth to enhance the situation to the level of their emotion. So, although I find people believable as my weakness, I do my best to stay alert for any red flags that arise.
@armogantraining71644 ай бұрын
An answer like this can open many different avenues of thought. First would this be a current weakness or a past weakness.
@donovancullum66874 ай бұрын
I would say it is a current weakness. If no red flags come up, I would have no reason to not believe that what they are saying is true. I may not have the best detection for what some red flags may be that others have caught onto through experience.

In regards to the "what is your greatest weakness" question- if you do try to be genuine with your response or say something more personal like "I'm not great at public speaking, but I've been actively seeing a coach or doing "x" training to get better at it." I'm assuming that would still be a bad answer? What if you don't have anything that relates directly to the career like your computer crime example answer?

Can I use a physical weakness. I am small but strong I’m 5ft tall. If I were to say “ my weakness may be I don’t always appear strong or intimidating because of my size or because I usually try to greet everyone with smiles. However that can always be a great strength in different aspects. Working with women and children and victims can see me as someone that they can trust. I also am strong for my size and constantly work on improving the skills I have the skills that need work. My height hasn’t held me back from achieving any of my goals.”
