How to Answer the Greatest Weakness Job Interview Question - Job-Hunt.org on Sep 26, 16
- Weakness: Self Critic -- Strength: Meticulous/Careful
  
  (Confession)"I feel that my greatest weakness is that I am very critical of my own work. I have always prided myself on producing excellent and error-free work. While this is beneficial to my job performance, it is possible to go to extremes.
  
  (Recovery)"I have also found that I can easily waste time checking and rechecking. Now I am aware of what to look for in being such a stickler, so I am always making a conscious effort to trust myself and my quality focus more and not be so incredibly critical of my work. I know that there is a limit to proofreading."
