[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]

So my take is not that you are a perfectionist but that you can get tangled up in detail and miss seeing the big picture.  [/quote]

I guess I could say that. We might not never landed those clients anyway, but I did slow down the proposals by wanting to cross all the t's and dot all the i's. I now have a better appreciation for speed. My boss told me not to go for 100% when 80-90% will do. It's really really hard for me to let something go out the door that may not be perfect, but that's how it goes here.

Now that I wrote that out, I'm thinking that this is not good interview material![/quote]
