Thought I’d share some tips from my last interview experience. Hope this helps someone out there! ✨

So, the interview kicked off with the usual stuff: background, why I’m interested in the role, all that stuff. But then came the big one: “What’s your greatest weakness?” Instead of dodging it, I decided to keep it real. I talked about how I used to over-commit to projects, trying to do everything at once. I even shared a specific instance where I took on too much and ended up having to pull a few all-nighters to get everything done.

But I didn’t just leave it at that. I explained how this experience taught me to prioritize tasks and manage my time better. I told them about the methods I now use to keep track of my workload, like using a planner and setting realistic deadlines. It showed them I’m not perfect, but I’m proactive about improving.

The interviewer seemed to appreciate the honesty. I think it helped me stand out because it showed I’m self-aware and willing to grow. Authenticity really does matter. It’s about showing them the real you and how you’ve learned from your experiences. So, next time you’re prepping for an interview, remember to turn those weaknesses into strengths.
