It has to be ‘What is your greatest weakness? If your interviewer has a sense of humour, a one-word answer like chocolate might buy you some time but it’s not the answer that they’re looking for. I know that the strategy to this question is to demonstrate that you’re constantly striving to develop yourself and improve your weaknesses. A single mention of them illustrates that you’re not willing to change. An interview is an opportunity for both parties to get to know each other, but your brain constantly must be on the ball in an interview to work this time to your advantage. A lot of time in interview preparation is spent rehearsing answers to questions that the interviewer might not even ask. The trouble is that if you don’t have an answer prepared for any question then answering questions could be your weakness; which isn’t great when the boss wants a progress report. All you can do is envision the script; and have a rehearsed set of examples that can be applied practically to any question; ideally different situations emphasising different skills.
