I am interviewing to be a programmer- my weakness is I am too blunt with clients. This is okay because this role does not deal with external clients. I have also found that I can have my other team mates read over communications with clients and get another pair of eyes as a "sanity check" before sending.

Assuming you're going for a real job, give a real answer, and specifically note how you have been humbled enough to realize it and start consciously working on it.

The follow-up is how you mitigate that weakness. The answer should include open communication, teamwork, and diversity of thought overcoming the weakness of any one individual on that team.

yeah its bait but idc

master, slave is not synonymous with leader, follower. that is normalising slavery by saying they were just followers.

blacklist has nothing to do with race or all blacks would be on the blacklist so why keep a list? same with whitelist. illogical.

to be fair grandfathered is sexist towards men as old men are useless, hence the term, but old men couldnt give a fuck about anything so might as well leave it.

i want to be referred to as he or his and i refuse to listen to anyone that says folk or y'all.

man hours have nothing to do with men, as human or mankind has nothing to do with gender either.

sanity is a word different to quick or confidence, they are not synonymous. coherence is ok.

a dummy value is not the same as a placeholder value or sample value. a dummy value is so called to not interact with the system, unbiased value could be correct.

if you get asked this by some random HR lady for a non-critical job you should honestly just challenge the question and ask what's some bad things about their life since they want to know the most intimate details of your personal life. Or ask them to tell you some bad things about the company in front of their boss. "biggest weakness" is a hell of a question to ask somebody

Either a jackass response like spiders or kryptonite, speaking from the heart if you really have a weakness that you feel you need to improve upon, or telling the interviewer that you feel that the question is inappropriate and why.

These kind of shit test questions are meant to gauge your personality so they know how to approach you with a lowball during negotiations. If you get caught up overthinking, they have you right where they want you.

I usually say that I'm a bit shy and perfectionnist but I think next time I'll just say that while I have plenty of flaws none are relevant to the job.

That question is a filter for those dumb enough to reveal an actual flaw, they won't filter you if you don't give them one. Just be socially aware enough to not sound full of yourself by doing so

By saying this, I actually get to work at a place that isn't a bad fit. I'm a bad fit for the Dude, Let's Get Some McMicrobrews Later companies. It saves everyone's time by being up-front about it.

I just answer something along the lines of me being a bit too focused on reaching a perfect result which can cause my projects to take a bit more time in the planning phase. This usually makes the interviewer impressed.

Basically my exact answer, but with an additional dose of an inability to feel comfortable in relying on others to accomplish their tasks in a way that won't interfere with my own.
I think the important thing is to always follow up on how you're working on this weakness or what you've done to mitigate it in the past.
