hi this is Natalie and in this video you're going to learn how to answer the
question what are your weaknesses in a job interview so stay tuned first of all
I'd like you to think about what a weakness is really i mean is a weakness
anything you don't know how to do if so everybody has tons of weaknesses that
could be anything from all the musical instruments that you don't know how to
play or all the dead languages that you don't know how to speak everybody has a
ton of weaknesses including the person sitting at the other side of the table
from you so why are they asking you that why do they want to know what you're bad
at and how can you answer it without hurting your chances at the job so there
are a few ways that you can do this one is to give an example because maybe
there was a time in your life when you needed to overcome something in order to
achieve something that was really important to you so for example a
presentation say you needed to do a presentation but you were really really
afraid of public speaking and you did it anyway you figured out how to public
speaking is not your thing but you've done it before then that's a good
example of weakness for the record I don't believe in weaknesses I think that
there are things that we are good at and things that we haven't learned how to do
yet there's several things in my life that I would consider have been my
weaknesses and now I know how to do them and I'm fine with them for example
learning how to use any kind of software program if you didn't know how to use it
in the beginning then it would be considered all weakness but if you
learned it then it could potentially be considered a strength or a skill it's
all in how we frame this question so if we don't really believe we have
weaknesses then we are just going to be learning what we need to learn to do our
jobs everybody has things they haven't learned how to do yet and once they
learn them then there are no longer weaknesses thanks for watching this is
natalie fisher from natalie fisher ta be who you are and
what you do or love what you do and be who you are same thing join me back at
natalie fisher see a sign up for email updates and stay in the know about
what's going on thanks so much
you
date how squidgy stay down you're not allowed to be in the video you're not
allowed of it okay fine hey everyone this is wedgie she's a puppy say hi
she's real I swear she moves she actually moves
no I messed it up I need a puppy why weaknesses are bogus and why you'll
learn what you need to learn to do your job but if you don't need to learn it
then it's probably a waste of your time because people focus on their strengths
people focus on their strengths are more successful in life that's just how it is
and people who focus all their time on learning learning what they don't know
how to do well they're not going to specialized for bigger than any one
thing because they're going to be learning what everything so there's your
three ways one explain where we just is and why you believe you don't need to
learn everything your behalf and you focus on what you're good at and that's
cool to give a good example of something that you did before that you aren't good
at in the beginning and use exceed it up later on because you learned three I
show them exactly how you were able to do something that you were definitely
afraid of but you did it anyway and it shows pretty good courage on your part
and it shows you that you're not afraid to take on a challenge so witnesses are
stupid we they're all in her head in my opinion neither happen but we just tell
ourselves to have them and good space
