Usually during the on-site interview, you will be asked:
-- Can you tell me/us what is your weak point?
Bad answer:
-- My English is not good enough.
-- I do not have a degree in USA.
-- I have never worked in USA.
Comment:
During the interview process, you are a sales person, the product you are trying to sell is yourself. All the answers you are going to give should focus on this goal. Based on this key point, turn the chance of answering this question into a selling opportunity for yourself.
Better answers:
-- Weak point? Let me think, Yah, sometime my colleagues say that I am too picky, I always try to do the job done to 100% perfection.
-- Weak point? I guess I focus too much on work, I can never stop thinking of my project even after I arrive at home.
-- Weak point? You know I come from China, in the Chinese culture I was educated to work hard and speak less, so sometimes my manager says that I am too quiet.
-- Weak point? I do not like to change jobs very often, I've stayed at the same company for many years...
Summary: Sell, sell, sell yourself. Now you should feel comfortable to use your weak points to sell yourself. Actually you should use all the chances you get to sell your self. this is the only focus for the interview process....
