In a job interview, when they ask you what your worst quality is, what do you answer?
If I told them the truth, I'd say that I'm shy, my interpersonal skills need work, I have occasional anxiety / depression problems and I don't like to be bossed around.
Ok, I don't think I'll tell them I'm shy or that I have mental problems cause I don't think it really gets in the way of me doing my work, so they don't need to know.
So I'm thinking of telling them something about how I don't like to be bossed around, or bossing around others but prefer an atmosphere of collaboration between equals.
Is that a fair answer? Can you think of a better way to say that?
Or instead of telling them I'm shy, I could tell them that a lot of people think I'm too quiet, but I'm working on that.
That might actually be a better answer because if they call my former boss, that's exactly what she'd say. (or just about anyone who knows me
)
So what do you usually say?
