1
- What are your weaknesses?
2
One of the most common questions you'll get during an interview when you're applying for a job.
3
Now, over the years, I have asked this question to so many applicants and I am shocked by the answers.
4
So today I'm gonna teach you how to answer that question properly.
5
First, let's talk about what you don't do.
6
So when your employer, your interviewer is asking you, so what are your weaknesses?
7
Oh, I have none.
8
Don't ever say that.
9
It is a lie.
10
You know it's a lie, I know it's a lie.
11
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.
12
And don't say, well, I never thought about it or no one ever asked me that.
13
Seriously, no one ever asked you that?
14
Maybe you think you're being smart with the ply.
15
Don't do that.
16
It just shows you are dishonest and also it shows you you lack self awareness.
17
Those are not good answers.
18
Also, here are the ones I hear all the time that are also it's a big no-no.
19
I'm kind of a workaholic and a bit too much of a perfectionist.
20
Give me a break.
21
Don't try to turn it and put a positive spin on it when you're being asked what are your weaknesses.
22
Another one I hear all the time, oh I love people, I love working with people.
23
Really, I don't like you that much right now.
24
Okay, that's not good.
25
That's not what you do.
26
So here's how you answer, what are your weaknesses?
27
The key is don't make that about your personality.
28
If you're gonna share something, make that about your skill set that you could work on.
29
Here's what I mean by that.
30
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.
31
But if you make it about a skill set, then it's something that you could work on.
32
So I'll give you an example, what are your weaknesses?
33
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.
34
Now, see that's a good reply if you are an introvert because here's what's going through my mind.
35
My mind is thinking, okay, this person is shy and introverted and that's okay.
36
So it means that in certain scenario, maybe I need to ask this person more to speak up.
37
I could say, hey, you know what?
38
What do you think of this?
39
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.
40
See, that's what's going through my mind.
41
That is fixable.
42
Or maybe this person could go take Toastmasters and develop more confidence and work on her public speaking skills a bit.
43
See, in my mind, all that's fixable.
44
That's fine, that's perfectly fine.
45
Here's another scenario.
46
If you share something about your weaknesses not in terms of your personality, but your skill, but also your plan.
47
What have you been doing to work on it or what are you planning to fix this?
48
So let me give an example, okay.
49
So what are your weaknesses?
50
Well, you know what, I'm a very creative person.
51
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.
52
And what I realized over the years is sometimes these ideas, sometimes they're good and sometimes they're not so good.
53
So it is something that I know I need to work on how to prioritize some of these ideas and work on filtering.
54
And in fact, recently, I have been reading a few books.
55
One it's called by Richard Koch, 80/20 Principle and also Getting Things Done by David Allen.
56
And through the book, I've picked up a lot of techniques and tools.
57
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.
58
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.
59
Boom, you see how that sounds?
60
You are not bragging, you're not lying.
61
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.
62
From my perspective as a CEO, as an employer, I know, okay, first of all, you're reading books.
63
Damn, that's a big plus right there.
64
And you're learning, you're self aware and you know what you need to work on and you're coachable.
65
To me, those are all like plus, plus, plus, plus from that simply reply.
66
So what are your weaknesses?
67
Next time when you get this question, what are gonna do, how are you gonna answer it?
68
Comment below.
69

70

71

面试常见问题“你的缺点是什么”的应对场景
在求职面试中，“你的缺点是什么”是高频问题。视频中，一位经验丰富的面试官分享了求职者常犯的错误及正确回答方式，不仅能帮助求职者提升面试技巧，也为英语学习者提供了真实的口语素材。通过分析这类实用对话，结合“看YouTube学英语”的方法，能有效提高英语表达的准确性与实用性。
日常交流高频表达
- Don't ever say that.（千万别这么说。）
- It's a big no-no.（这是大忌。）
- Put a positive spin on it.（往好的方面说。）
- Work on your public speaking skills.（提升公众演讲能力。）
- What are you planning to fix this?（你打算如何改进？）
影子跟读法（Shadowing）练习指南
影子跟读法（shadow speech）是提高英语发音和口语流畅度的有效方法。针对这段视频，可按以下步骤练习：
步骤1：分段倾听
将视频按内容分段，如“错误回答”“正确思路”“案例分析”，每段重复播放3-5遍，专注于语调和重音。例如，面试官说“Get out of here”时的语气，体现对虚假回答的不满，模仿时需注意情感表达。
步骤2：即时跟读
播放一句后暂停，立即跟读，尽量匹配语速和节奏。对于“introvert”“Toastmasters”等生词，先查发音，确保准确。这一过程可结合雅思口语练习，提升答题时的反应速度。
步骤3：内容复述
关闭视频，用自己的话总结核心观点，如“缺点应聚焦技能而非性格，且需说明改进计划”。通过复述，强化对表达逻辑的理解，同时锻炼组织语言的能力。
坚持使用影子跟读法，结合“看YouTube学英语”的资源，不仅能掌握面试技巧，还能全面提升英语听说水平。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
