Hi everyone, I'm Amy Bateman from Career Cake TV.

過去形

I did a video a couple of months ago with the guys at

Firebrand Talent Search and we had some fantastic feedback,

Now I've spoken to the team and we've decided to do

And this time I'm going to be looking at the question,

So we've all heard those textbook answers that tell you

to pick a weakness that is also a strength.

So something like I'm a complete workaholic.

My family get really frustrated because when I get

I want everything around me to be perfect and I get slightly

Now the problem is that nobody is that incredible that their

And if you pick a weakness that is so obviously a

strength in the working environment, then people are

So what I would really like, oh and remember, the

interviewer has also been a job seeker and been on

interview, and has probably read the exact same articles

So pick something that you genuinely struggle with.

Maybe it's that you struggle in conflict situations.

Maybe you struggle with your confidence levels

So my weakness used to be public speaking, speaking to

And in my job, that is a massive weakness.

However, obviously with what I do now, I've overcome that

But it is something I've really struggled with.

And then you finish with that really happy story.

So give an example, tell a story of something really

positive where you overcame that weakness.

And you can say you're still working on it if you want to,

So if you were going to pick the public speaking weakness,

you could say, in the past I've struggled slightly with

However, I'm really strong at speaking to

What I've done to overcome that is, you might say that

you spent time with colleagues that were really good at it,

you practiced it, you took some coaching, you took a

course, and then give an example, a happy story.

Recently, in fact I did a presentation to a team that

I felt confident, feedback from management was that they

I'm still working on it, but I've come a long way.

In the past I've struggled slightly with, however I'm

really good at, this is what I'm doing to overcome it, and

Now honesty will get you so far in an interview.

We don't want to say anything, obviously, too horrendous.

We've covered that, but yes, honesty will

So if you want to catch up with me, you want to see

anymore of my videos, this is my website.

If you want to catch up with the amazing team at Firebrand

And until next time, take care and good luck with those
