How would you answer?

Of course you can't be truthful - just use the standard " I'm not perfect at the administrative/paperwork - I'd rather be in the field with customers - I'd don't get in trouble over it - just not my favorite part of the job".
 
















































I've heard the best way to respond is to pick something small you haven't been good at or liked to do, admit you recognized your weakness and then tell how recognizing and changing your behavior resulted in your positive personal development.

S-I chewed my nails
T-I needed to stop
A-I researched nail biters and found a bitter nail polish
R-when I bit my nails, the taste was bitter, I stopped chewing on myself and as a result I didn't spit nail chinks on my customers' floors

You are a moron. This is not even remotely funny.

Not meant to be, it's a simplified example of what interviewers want to hear when they ask the weakness question, thought I explained that in the first sentence before the example. Don't believe me? Fine, maybe you should prep a little harder before your interviews, there are multiple examples of STAR format questions and answers, even some from specific companies, that you could use to help yourself. Or you could go to the interview like a lazy dumbass, admit you think CSO reps just smile, make small talk and get signatures then fret afterwards that you were afraid to ask about the company car/car allowance, vacation and benefits package. Your choice. I'm glad people like you are my competition in this market. You're welcome.
 






Funny thing was, that question was never asked of me as the interviewer kept staring at my bulge thoughout the whole interview! Couldn't believe it but she was fixated on it. Bout 1/2 way thru the interviw she said . . . . . . "Boy, you are big!" Trying to get her back on topic and to avert such a discussion she asked if she could see it. In reluctance she took a peek and immediately fainted on the spot! We had to summon hotel security to revive her.

Anyway . . . . . . . . . got the job with flying colors! Morale of the story is to flaunt your strengths and minimize your weaknesses.

I know there has been alot of interviewing going on in recent weeks so I have to ask, What are your weaknesses? Be honest, none of those standard BS responses.

Back to topic please. I recently was asked this question - couldnt believe it at first and then I honestly said:

"My weakness is that I don't have a rehearsed answer to that question. We all have minor weaknesses and if I were to ask 10 of my managers or peers they would come up with 10 different ones. I choose to make sure I know my strengths and do my job to the best of my abilities learnng to overcome what insufficienceis I have along the way."

Didnt get the job - but felt good sayin that. Much better than the canned response. Hate that and couldnt hear myself saying it.
 






I have said that I sometimes have a hard time getting through the smokescreen..Those Drs that yes you to death but you know are not writing your product....I say that this is something that I am always working on improving...also asking the tough questions to Doctors that you have good relationships with...sometimes those people can be the hardest to gain a true commitment...

I think it is honest and most reps have this problem in the field but don't see it.
 






Know what you mean. Sometimes it gets harder, but other times it goes limp. Go figure. Some call me the "left coast dangler" as mine hangs dramatically left and it usually takes a hammer and an anvil to straighten the dang thing out.

Whatever you are asked never tell the interviewer that you hang left, but moreso at a 45 degree angle right down the middle. Just a word to the wise!
