Question 1

What is a good weakness to say in an interview?

Accepted Answer

A real one that is not central to the job, paired with a specific correction you made and what changed as a result. The correction is the part being graded — a weakness with no fix is just a confession.

Question 2

Can I say I am a perfectionist?

Accepted Answer

It is best avoided. Interviewers recognise it as an evasion, and it fails the test twice — no real weakness is disclosed, and dodging the question signals the lack of self-awareness being probed.
