How to Talk About Weaknesses in IT Job Interviews
Lots of IT recruiters and IT staffing agencies come across IT professionals who aren’t sure how to answer this tough interview question: What is/are your weakness(es)? Worse, some technical recruiters and IT recruiting agencies work with candidates who think they know how to answer this question, but do it poorly. Here’s how to talk about weaknesses so you impress your interviewer and get some positive feedback for your IT staffing firms and IT recruiting companies.
- Don’t give a fake weakness. Give one that is real. If you say something like ‘perfectionism’ it will make it harder for the interviewer to feel like you’re being honest and genuine with them.
- Give a weakness that isn’t prohibitive to doing the IT jobs you’re interviewing for. If you’re interviewing for a Software Developer job, you wouldn’t want to say you’re not very attentive to detail.
- Lastly, make sure your weakness is something you can actually improve upon. It’s best if you can give a brief summary of how you are currently working on this weakness, too. This will ensure that your IT staffing companies and IT recruiting firms get some great feedback after your interview!
