It is not fun when someone compels you to say inappropriate things about yourself. It is as though they are inquiring you to harm your own self respect. They are saying “hey, I know you like most things about yourself, but I am going to require you to point out to me where you suck.”
Fortunately, instead of how difficult the query works at 1st glance, this is one query that is not that complicated to answer. Instead of pointing out a weakness in your qualities, experiences, etc., you should give a confident response such as the one you will see below.
Good Answer
“I wouldn’t have applied for this job if I was not self-assured that I was a great fit, so I consider if you opt to go another route it was because I did not properly communicate why I am the right individual for the post.”
Here, you confidently claim that you are ideal for the job, so that the mere reason they do not hire you is because you did not do a good job elaborating those qualifications at the interview. This is a much better reply that should provide you some good points with the employer and will not point out your “mistakes or flaws.”
Take Away Interview Tips
- Be confident and self-assure.
- Claim that you must not have explained your capabilities well adequately.
