面試問題之「你最大的缺點是什麼？What is your weakness？」

相信很多人都在面試過程中都遭遇了這個問題。什麼是一個理想的答案呢？

FORTUNE上有一個職業諮詢師的專欄，這位叫做Anne Fisher的職業專家給出了三種應答的方案：

1、談談你以前的缺點之一，更重要的是你是怎樣克服它的；

2、談談你正在申請的工作將怎樣發展你的能力；

3、談談別人給你的一個有價值的建議以及自己是怎樣受益的。

1. Focus the discussion on how you『ve improved over time. Instead of hashing over a current weakness (assuming you can think of one), talk about a past shortcoming and how you resolved it. Maybe you used to have trouble meeting deadlines, for instance, until you took a time-management course that helped you get your schedule under control. "The idea is to show that you are interested in getting better and better at what you do," says Dattner.

2. Talk about how the job you『re applying for will help you stretch and build your skills. Again, no matter how good you already are, you can always improve - and you may see specific ways in which this particular job will help you do that. If so, the interview is a good time to mention it.

3. Describe a valuable piece of advice someone gave you, and how it has helped your career. "This could be, for example, a boss who once told you not to give people the answers but to let them figure things out on their own," says Dattner. "Or maybe a mentor once pointed out to you that not everyone is motivated by the same things you are, and that insight helped you become a better manager." Whatever the pearl of wisdom you received, a willingness to talk about its effect on you "shows that you want to learn and grow," Dattner notes. "And that『s really what hiring managers are trying to find out."

讓我比較甘興趣的正文後的評論和留言，很多，卻沒有見到有人贊成作者觀點。回復者的觀點主要是：

1、 不要逃避這個問題，一定要真誠地回答（至少看起來是），要是面試官察覺你很討巧地迴避這個問題，你一定會被Pass掉或者在你滔滔不絕並以為自己已經把面試官的思維送出剛才的車道之後，他們一定會轉回起點——您剛才的描述很精彩。Again，what is your greatest weakness?；

2、 不要選擇一些看起來很機智的回答，比如「我工作的太勞累」,會給你帶來不真誠、自以為是的負面印象。

3、 有一個很好的回答，先說說自己最大的優點是什麼，同時也表示自己能夠意識到如果走極端，最大的優點也會成為最大的缺點。

面試官問這個的目的：

1、你的缺點是否是職位所不能接受的；如果能接受，還是需要了解你的缺點，企業以便了解以後如何支持你的工作；

2、你是否具有自我評價的能力；對自我了解和定位是否清晰；

3、你為人是否真誠；

4、多問你一個問題，你說得越多，面試官對你的了解就越多。而且這是經典問題，必須要問，聽聽是否會有比較新穎的回答；

比較有趣的回答：

1、我太迷戀 巧克力了。。。。。。（最後獲得工作！）

2、你最大的缺點是什麼？我倒是想聽聽（絕對不推薦，除非你不想要這份工作了）

3、對不起，我不參加非行為化面試（這位肯定研究過招聘技術）

4、我最大的缺點就是我是一個58歲綠眼睛、膚色深的拉美裔的美國女人。（種族歧視、性別歧視、年齡歧視、外貌歧視。。。。。。）

你將怎麼回答這個問題呢？
