If you have a weakness that is related to the job, offering it as an example at an interview is not likely to land you the opportunity! If you read the rest of the article, Marci highlights the point. I do not advise my clients to outline job-related weaknesses at an interview. The assumption is that the candidate is highly qualified for the job and has no significant job related weaknesses. Thanks for visiting my blog here at Keppie Careers!

For a computer programer how is public speaking related. His/ her daily job is not public speaking but intead writing programs. When this queation is asked i think a relavent anwswer must be related to computer language / programs or skills. the interviewer is trying to understand his / her drawbacks Ran This is regarding a comment and an example posted by you in an article on yahoo -
