I struggle to wake up in the morning
I am bad at tidying things up
I am a slow learner
I am a busybody
Those were some of the answers when I asked the IMU University students to write down their weaknesses. It was part of my talk on how to prepare for an interview.
All valid answers.
But in an interview situation, mesti ada plan on how to overcome the weaknesses.
For example, for the problem with waking up in the morning, maybe can say that I just bought another louder alarm clock to help me wake up
For the slow learner, it could be that I am taking private tuition 2-3 hours a week.
For the messy, it could be that you are setting aside 1 hour every Saturday morning to tidy up your room.
For the busy body, just don’t be one la. Tak payah jaga tepi kain orang lain.
Being asked about your weaknesses is very common in interview.
So make sure you prepare your answers AND your plan to overcome them.
