“What’s your weakness?” is a must question when interviewing for roles. It’s stupid. Just picture this. Superman is applying for a role at the Justice League. He gets the question: “So… What’s your weakness?“ He knows. You know. I know. They know. It’s kryptonite. And what are they going to ask? “How can you improve your weakness against it?“ What’s he going to do? “Well, when I see it, I’ll run away…?“ See the ridiculousness of the question? (: Now, we’re not from Krypton. We’re humans. And assuming we have weaknesses —that we need to “fix”/”work on” them— means we’re flawed. That we’re supposed to be good at everything. That we need to focus on the things we’re not so good at, just to avoid mistakes. What if, instead, we look for balancing out these competences, so that we all can thrive together? And here’s a question that might give you better insights on how others can help you (or you can help them): What’s the ONE thing you’d choose to do right now, if money was not something to worry about? |
