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!)
Weaknesses present opportunities for growth; to avoid major concern from an interviewer, I'd try to focus on weaknesses that tend to have a more positive note, i.e. perfectionist, "feeler" (takes others emotions on). If not controlled and kept at bay, these weaknesses can grow into bigger issues, however if you can control them they're actually two strong. qualities |

Comments: I agree weaknesses leave room for growth but it dose show them you have room to grow. I don't agree with making a weakness seem more professional just to get a job. No, you need to be more honest about your weaknesses so they can choose you for the job and help you with them. Or they won't choose you, there are other schools out there that need teachers and could help you with those weaknesses. |

Comments: It's always good to provide an answer that puts you in a good light. I only say negative because I've heard this answer a lot and the end of the solution did not make much sense. |

Comments: I disagree with this solution, you should be honest about the weaknesses you have, they may grow nad become strengths. It is good to have room for improvement. |

Comments: This doesn't make sense. How can a weakness not be controlled, but also be too controlled? |

Comments: Without telling the interviewer how you have overcome your weaknesses or what you've put in place, you are only pointing out your weakness and that won't secure you a position. |
