?面试问题之“你最大的缺点是什么？What is your weakness？
相信很多人都在面试过程中都遭遇了这个问题。什么是一个理想的答案呢？
FORTUNE上有一个职业咨询师的专栏，这位叫做Anne Fisher的职业专家给出了三种应答的方案：
1、谈谈你以前的缺点之一，更重要的是你是怎样克服它的；
2、谈谈你正在申请的工作将怎样发展你的能力；
3、谈谈别人给你的一个有价值的建议以及自己是怎样受益的。
1. Focus the discussion on how you've improved over time. Instead of hashing over a current weakness (assuming you can think of one), talk about a past shortcoming and how you resolved it. Maybe you used to have trouble meeting deadlines, for instance, until you took a time-management course that helped you get your schedule under control. "The idea is to show that you are interested in getting better and better at what you do," says Dattner.
2. Talk about how the job you're applying for will help you stretch and build your skills. Again, no matter how good you already are, you can always improve - and you may see specific ways in which this particular job will help you do that. If so, the interview is a good time to mention it.
3. Describe a valuable piece of advice someone gave you, and how it has helped your career. "This could be, for example, a boss who once told you not to give people the answers but to let them figure things out on their own," says Dattner. "Or maybe a mentor once pointed out to you that not everyone is motivated by the same things you are, and that insight helped you become a better manager." Whatever the pearl of wisdom you received, a willingness to talk about its effect on you "shows that you want to learn and grow," Dattner notes. "And that's really what hiring managers are trying to find out."
让我比较甘兴趣的正文后的评论和留言，很多，却没有见到有人赞成作者观点。回复者的观点主要是：
1、 不要逃避这个问题，一定要真诚地回答（至少看起来是），要是面试官察觉你很讨巧地回避这个问题，你一定会被Pass掉或者在你滔滔不绝并以为自己已经把面试官的思维送出刚才的车道之后，他们一定会转回起点——您刚才的描述很精彩。Again，what is your greatest weakness?；
2、 不要选择一些看起来很机智的回答，比如“我工作的太劳累”,会给你带来不真诚、自以为是的负面印象。
3、 有一个很好的回答，先说说自己最大的优点是什么，同时也表示自己能够意识到如果走极端，最大的优点也会成为最大的缺点。
面试官问这个的目的：
1、你的缺点是否是职位所不能接受的；如果能接受，还是需要了解你的缺点，企业以便了解以后如何支持你的工作；
2、你是否具有自我评价的能力；对自我了解和定位是否清晰；
3、你为人是否真
诚；
4、多问你一个问题，你说得越多，面试官对你的了解就越多。而且这是经典问题，必须要问，听听是否会有比较新颖的回答；
比较有趣的回答：
1、我太迷恋 巧克力了。。。。。。（最后获得工作！）
2、你最大的缺点是什么？我倒是想听听（绝对不推荐，除非你不想要这份工作了）
3、对不起，我不参加非行为化面试（这位肯定研究过招聘技术）
4、我最大的缺点就是我是一个58岁绿眼睛、肤色深的拉美裔的美国女人。（种族歧视、性别歧视、年龄歧视、外貌歧视。。。。。。）
