A steward candidate applied for employment at one among the world’s leading airlines. Her interview consisted of a panel of interviewers sitting across from a row of candidates. The interviewers went down the road and asked each applicant the stereotypical question, “What is your biggest weakness?” The steward in question had a smooth, professional response prepared: While i think I do have weaknesses,” she said, “I don’t believe I even have any that might affect my ability to perform this job well.” It was an excellent answer and it worked. She got the work . Twenty years later, she’s a cheerful , satisfied employee of an equivalent airline. Do, however, avoid the response offered by one among the opposite applicants during the group interviews. When asked her biggest weakness, she replied, “Oh, I’m always late.” While that answer would be disastrous in any job, are you able to image how it went over when your workplace can LEAVE without you?” (She didn't , as you would possibly guess, get the work .)
A true story . . .
