When you're asked what your greatest weakness is, try to turn a negative into a positive. For example, a sense of urgency to get projects completed or wanting to triple-check every item in a spreadsheet can be turned into a strength i.e. you are a candidate who will make sure that the project is done on time and your work will be close to perfect.

Weakness

    * When I'm working on a project, I don't want just to meet deadlines. Rather, I prefer to complete the project well ahead of schedule.

    * Being organized wasn't my strongest point, but I implemented a time management system that really helped my organization skills.

    * I like to make sure that my work is perfect, so I tend to perhaps spend a little too much time checking it. However, I've come to a good balance by setting up a system to ensure everything is done correctly the first time.

    * I used to wait until the last minute to set appointments for the coming week, but I realized that scheduling in advance makes much more sense.

Strength

    * When I'm working on a project, I don't want just to meet deadlines. Rather, I prefer to complete the project well ahead of schedule.

    * I have exceeded my sales goals every quarter and I've earned a bonus each year since I started with my current employer.

    * My time management skills are excellent and I'm organized, efficient, and take pride in excelling at my work.

    * I pride myself on my customer service skills and my ability to resolve what could be difficult situations.

How well can you work in stressful situations?

    * Stress is very important to me. With stress, I do the best possible job. The appropriate way to deal with stress is to make sure I have the correct balance between good stress and bad stress. I need good stress to stay motivated and productive.

    * I react to situations, rather than to stress. That way, the situation is handled and doesn't become stressful.

    * I actually work better under pressure and I've found that I enjoy working in a challenging environment.

    * From a personal perspective, I manage stress by visiting the gym every evening. It's a great stress reducer.

    * Prioritizing my responsibilities so I have a clear idea of what needs to be done when, has helped me effectively manage pressure on the job.

    * If the people I am managing are contributing to my stress level, I discuss options for better handling difficult situations with them.

What’s motivates you?

    * I was responsible for several projects where I directed development teams and implemented repeatable processes. The teams achieved 100% on-time delivery of software products. I was motivated both by the challenge of finishing the projects ahead of schedule and by managing the teams that achieved our goals.

    * I've always been motivated by the desire to do a good job at whatever position I'm in. I want to excel and to be successful in my job, both for my own personal satisfaction and for my employer.

    * I have always wanted to ensure that my company's clients get the best customer service I can provide. I've always felt that it's important, both to me personally, and for the company and the clients, to provide a positive customer experience.

    * I have spent my career in sales, typically in commission-based positions, and compensation has always been a strong factor in motivating me to be the top salesperson at my prior employers.
