[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Np here. The bad thing is that perfectionism is my biggest weakness, at least according to my boss. I can point to two clients that I missed out on getting because I wanted a proposal to be perfect instead of just done, and someone beat me to the job. I've worked on it a lot, though, and have gotten a lot faster. Should I come up with another weakness just to not look canned?[/quote]

Honestly? Yes. Or tell the same story but without using the word "perfectionism." [/quote]

I would NOT tell a story about losing a client! Turn it into something that is not core to your job performance, that you already overcame. Mine is "i used to hate public speaking but i did toastmasters and now I like it."

This is an awful trick question. [/quote]

Disagree, I think it's OK to tell the story if it's far enough in the past and you have subsequent accomplishments you can point to as evidence of how you've corrected this weakness.[/quote]
