- What are your weaknesses?

One of the most common questions you'll get during an interview when you're applying for a job.

Now, over the years, I have asked this question to so many applicants and I am shocked by the answers.

So today I'm gonna teach you how to answer that question properly.

First, let's talk about what you don't do.

So when your employer, your interviewer is asking you, so what are your weaknesses?

Oh, I have none.

Don't ever say that.

It is a lie.

You know it's a lie, I know it's a lie.

When people say that, I just say get out of here, don't let the door hit you on the way out when you say I have none.

And don't say, well, I never thought about it or no one ever asked me that.

Seriously, no one ever asked you that?

Maybe you think you're being smart with the ply.

Don't do that.

It just shows you are dishonest and also it shows you you lack self awareness.

Those are not good answers.

Also, here are the ones I hear all the time that are also it's a big no-no.

I'm kind of a workaholic and a bit too much of a perfectionist.

Give me a break.

Don't try to turn it and put a positive spin on it when you're being asked what are your weaknesses.

Another one I hear all the time, oh I love people, I love working with people.

Really, I don't like you that much right now.

Okay, that's not good.

That's not what you do.

So here's how you answer, what are your weaknesses?

The key is don't make that about your personality.

If you're gonna share something, make that about your skill set that you could work on.

Here's what I mean by that.

When you share something about your personality, to an employer it could feel like, well, I don't know if you could fix that, that maybe it's who you are.

But if you make it about a skill set, then it's something that you could work on.

So I'll give you an example, what are your weaknesses?

Well, you know, I'm more of an introvert and sometimes I notice that I am shy to share my ideas when there's a room of people.

Now, see that's a good reply if you are an introvert because here's what's going through my mind.

My mind is thinking, okay, this person is shy and introverted and that's okay.

So it means that in certain scenario, maybe I need to ask this person more to speak up.

I could say, hey, you know what?

What do you think of this?

Or in my mind I'm also thinking, well, maybe through time once this person becomes more comfortable with everybody else within a company, she could share more ideas.

See, that's what's going through my mind.

That is fixable.

Or maybe this person could go take Toastmasters and develop more confidence and work on her public speaking skills a bit.

See, in my mind, all that's fixable.

That's fine, that's perfectly fine.

Here's another scenario.

If you share something about your weaknesses not in terms of your personality, but your skill, but also your plan.

What have you been doing to work on it or what are you planning to fix this?

So let me give an example, okay.

So what are your weaknesses?

Well, you know what, I'm a very creative person.

I tend to come up with all kinds of ideas and when I get these ideas, I'm very excited and I wanna share that with everybody, all my managers, my coworkers and I love to just to share.

And what I realized over the years is sometimes these ideas, sometimes they're good and sometimes they're not so good.

So it is something that I know I need to work on how to prioritize some of these ideas and work on filtering.

And in fact, recently, I have been reading a few books.

One it's called by Richard Koch, 80/20 Principle and also Getting Things Done by David Allen.

And through the book, I've picked up a lot of techniques and tools.

Now they are helping me to filter out some of these ideas and how do I prioritize if there's something that I'm working on all the time.

And of course, I'm always open to any coaching from you that can help me to channel my creativity into higher productions for the company.

Boom, you see how that sounds?

You are not bragging, you're not lying.

You're saying, hey, I know that I've got this problem, I know it's something that I need to work on it, it's something that I am working on and here's my plan and at the end you're asking for coaching.

From my perspective as a CEO, as an employer, I know, okay, first of all, you're reading books.

Damn, that's a big plus right there.

And you're learning, you're self aware and you know what you need to work on and you're coachable.

To me, those are all like plus, plus, plus, plus from that simply reply.

So what are your weaknesses?

Next time when you get this question, what are gonna do, how are you gonna answer it?

Comment below.

Share with me if someone was to ask you this question, what are your weaknesses, how would you reply to the best of your ability.

And also let's collaborate.

Maybe my other fans they could see in the comment and see who can come up with the best response.

Go ahead and do that.

FOR YOU

面試常見問題“你的缺點是什麼”的應對場景

在求職面試中，“你的缺點是什麼”是高頻問題。影片中，一位經驗豐富的面試官分享了求職者常犯的錯誤及正確回答方式，不僅能幫助求職者提升面試技巧，也為英語學習者提供了真實的口語素材。通過分析這類實用對話，結合“看YouTube學英語”的方法，能有效提高英語表達的準確性與實用性。

日常交流高頻表達

Don't ever say that.（千萬別這麼說。）
It's a big no-no.（這是大忌。）
Put a positive spin on it.（往好的方面說。）
Work on your public speaking skills.（提升公眾演講能力。）
What are you planning to fix this?（你打算如何改進？）

影子跟讀法（Shadowing）練習指南

影子跟讀法（shadow speech）是提高英語發音和口語流暢度的有效方法。針對這段影片，可按以下步驟練習：

步驟1：分段傾聽

將影片按內容分段，如“錯誤回答”“正確思路”“案例分析”，每段重複播放3-5遍，專注於語調和重音。例如，面試官說“Get out of here”時的語氣，體現對虛假回答的不滿，模仿時需注意情感表達。

步驟2：即時跟讀

播放一句後暫停，立即跟讀，儘量匹配語速和節奏。對於“introvert”“Toastmasters”等生詞，先查發音，確保準確。這一過程可結合雅思口語練習，提升答題時的反應速度。

步驟3：內容複述

關閉影片，用自己的話總結核心觀點，如“缺點應聚焦技能而非性格，且需說明改進計劃”。通過複述，強化對錶達邏輯的理解，同時鍛鍊組織語言的能力。

堅持使用影子跟讀法，結合“看YouTube學英語”的資源，不僅能掌握面試技巧，還能全面提升英語聽說水平。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成進行時 have/has been + -ing — 以前開始、現在仍在繼續的動作	have you been doing · have been reading
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	have asked · I've picked

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
