A Staffing Company in Portland is Revealing 4 Tips for Overcoming Weaknesses During a Job Interview

"What are your weaknesses?" is a question that most job applicants dread hearing. This is one of the toughest questions to answer in an interview because it's so hard to find something you're not good at and still seem like a worthy candidate. In this blog post, one of the top  job agencies in Portland  will discuss 4 tips for overcoming weaknesses during a job interview! 

• Tip # one: Recognize that all weaknesses can be overcome. It's true! No matter how hard it may seem, there are always ways to improve on your shortcomings. The interviewers will likely ask about any limitations you have to determine if they're a potential problem for the company and if those limits would prevent you from being successful at the job or not. 
  
  
• Tip # two: Consider the company before you share your weaknesses. This is an important step to take to emphasize how much of a good fit you are for their organization. For example, if they're looking for someone who's super detail-oriented and organized with high attention to accuracy, then mentioning that you have ADHD might not be a wise idea. 
  
  
• Tip # three: Keep it positive! Try not to dwell on any negatives so far as possible during this vulnerable time. You never know what type of questions will come up, such as why did I leave my previous job? or Do I work well under pressure? What would happen if there was one day when we were short-staffed? If these topics come up, you'll be glad that you can respond confidently. 
  
  
• Tip # four: Consider sharing your weaknesses when they're relevant. For example, if their company has a problem with employees not taking initiative and the position offers an opportunity for creativity or autonomy, then mentioning this might help to highlight one of your strengths without it sounding like an excuse because, frankly, we all have limitations!
