What are your weaknesses?

[Brighteye]

My greatest weakness* is that I don't fit in very well with the touchy-feely society we have, where things are judged not by objective measures or principles, but by others' responses.
People seem to take far too much personally, and if it's not a personal subject then I refuse to treat it as a possibly offensive one. It annoys some people who think that we should all bow before other people's whims.

* that I'd tell an employer

If you start thinking of things in terms of cost and benefit then you won't be susceptible to women bumming beers off you without you receiving anything in return.

In an interview: I shy away from working in a team and would prefer to work on my own. Even though I'm not too bad at actually working in a team, I will avoid doing so, which sometimes affects the project. I have been working on it though, and in recent times have been actively pushing myself into situations where team work is necessary, for example.... <real or embellished example goes here>.

Personally: I'm shy.

I`m blunt. A big ol` sincere, dumb sledgehammer with a short fuse.

Boss: So I hear you think I`m an incompetent @$$hole.
Me (after realising he called me to his office just to ask that stupid question): Yes, sir, I do. Now if you don`t mind, I have better things to do.

- He`s a regional manager now, I`m still at my old position.

I'm too darn awesome.

Also, I have no talent.

Wow, that's almost verbatim to what I said when I was asked this question in an interview about 2 years ago. I admit I'm shy, not very talkative, and would rather work independently.

Oh, a BIG weakness of mine is a failure to get those unsaid "signals" that women send, yet everyone else in the world seems to recieve.

EDIT: Also, I tend to forget things, but then remember them at strange times. For example, I will say "okay, I'm ready to go now," leave, and then a mile down the road remember something I left at home. Sometimes it happens as soon as I get out the door.

Also, I'm a combination of extremely suspicious, yet also too trusting. I always believe that people are telling me the truth (because I don't understand why people would lie - I don't do it), but at the same time I can be overly suspicious of everything, and extremely skeptical about things. They often fall into the worst situations possible, where I will be skeptical when I don't need to or shouldn't be, and will take things literally, at face value, or otherwise swallow hook, line, and sinker, when I shouldn't, and it screws me over every time. Oftentimes the skepticism will be in a situation where I was previously screwed over, probably for being too trusting.

QFT completely and totaly.

I hear you brother.

I have had to fight this one for the sake of my traditional relationship though. I've told my GF quite a few times, "You're the only one I'll ever do this for again!". For some reason she doesn't seem to appreciate it as a compliment.

[Ramius75]

in an interview. My greatest weakness is that im impatient and cant wait to get things done. i dont take no for an answer and colleagues who worked with me often complaint that im demanding and unreasonable at time. Wanting to get things done ASAP.

In real life.

edit : beautiful women and im shallow
procrastination
lazy
forgetful
complacent
cute animals
stingy

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

I am too logical with those who are illogical. That may sound good, but when you're being told that the middle east makes $100 million per second by a guy as stubborn as an ass and who thinks that talking louder and more often constitutes a better argument, what is there to be said?

Are you me?

 

[King of Town]

say inappropriate things to the wrong people. I told the VP of my area that she reminded me of meryl streeps charcter in devil wears prada. Luckily she took it to mean she had to fashion sense.

 

[brennan]

I find that question extremely irritating. Mind you I find interviews extremely irritating.

 

[TrailblazingScot]

I started to reply, however the idea of listing my weaknesses made me feel sorry for myself.

I could have done so many things differently and better, however had I done that I'd have never met my fiance and I wouldn't be me.

If I have any particular weakness it is that I'm impatient and want things far too quickly and easily, it means I can get quite discontented and start dreaming about what I could be doing rather than either just enjoying myself and just relaxing. Today for instance, I've been doing loads of research on other forms of employment and making money and so on and so forth rather than just kicking back with a beer and playing some civ whilst my fiance is off in London.

Wow. My first post here in absolutely ages!

Wonder if anyone remembers me
