Honesty, with a twist(新手法)

　　“‘What are your three strengths and three weaknesses?’ is a classic, but not too many people know how to answer this,” says Kenneth C. Wisnefski, founder and CEO of WebiMax, an online marketing company.

　　“As an interviewer, we want to hear strengths that describe initiative(主动性), motivation and dedication. The best way to respond is to include these qualities into specific ‘personal statements.’”

　　“Similarly, weaknesses should be positioned as a strength that can benefit the employer.”

　　“I like to hear applicants state an exaggerated strength, and put an interesting twist on it. An example of this is, ‘My initiative is so strong, that sometimes I take on too many projects at a time.’”

　　This answer leads with a strength that employers want —initiative —and still acknowledges that you’re not perfect.

　　Although you might consider this acknowledgement too honest, it works because it proves you’re being honest.

　　Honesty, with progress

　　When you consider what your weaknesses are, think about how you have attempted to overcome them. No one is perfect, so pretending that you are a perfectionist will come across as insincere.

　　Debra Davenport, author of “Career Shuffle,” believes citing(引用) examples are the best approach.
