Interviews: The Self-Depreciation Rule

During the course of your interview, you will inevitably be asked about your weaknesses. If you are honest, you will get the job. If you lie by describing your weaknesses as being on a slide towards alcoholism; blogging all day on your laptop; not liking to get up out of bed before 11.30 a.m.; not liking to make decisions or take responsibility; and being happiest while daydreaming of a different life in a tropical country, you shouldn’t expect to get the job. What your potential employer is looking for is honesty, so you should tell the truth. The truth is that, if anything, you are too conscientious; you take on more work than is good for you; you have no home life so you like to work late into the evening; your motivation goes way beyond being paid; you like to take on responsibility without any authority; and you are happiest while taking on extra work. If you have one really big weakness, it is trying to do the work of five people. Such honesty will get you the job.
