Case: What is your biggest weakness?
If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when responding to this question? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Hello Zafer,
I would say that being honest is key to answering this question. I would also take it a step further, instead of just stating what your weaknesses are talk about how you overcome them.
For instance, when I was asked this question the following was my response: I believe that I can improve in the area of time management. I find that I allow class discussions to run too long. There are topics in which the students are very interested in and want to spend time talking about. However, there are many subjects and activities that must occur throughout the day. The way that I have worked on this issue is by saying to a student "Ok, you are going to give us the last point in the discussion, everyone else keep your thoughts in your mind for when we return to this topic."
I think it is best to show that despite your weaknesses, you are aware of them and working to combat them as well. |
