Some people offer replies they mistakenly assume that bosses love, such as 'I am a perfectionist.' That response 'will be used against you' because you appear incapable of delegating, warns Joshua Ehrlich, dean of a master's program in executive coaching sponsored by BeamPines Inc., a New York coaching firm and Middlesex University in London.

一些應聘者會給出誤以為老板會喜歡的答案，比如，“我的缺點是過于追求完美”。對此埃里奇（Joshua Ehrlich）提醒說，這個回答會對你求職不利，因為它顯得你似乎沒有能力授權給他人。埃里奇是一個由紐約職業(yè)培訓機構BeamPines Inc.和倫敦米德塞克斯大學（Middlesex University）合辦的經理人碩士班培訓項目的負責人。

A careful game plan could help you cope with the shortcoming query in a way that highlights your fit for a desired position. Job seekers who field the question well demonstrate that they can 'take initiative and improve themselves,' Mr. Morrow says.

為對付這個問題，可事先精心設計好一個答案，以凸顯你適合所申請的這個職位。莫羅說，出色回答這個問題的求職者表現(xiàn)出他們能夠“主動行動，改善自己”。

The key？ Thorough preparation. Career specialists suggest you take stock of your weaknesses, focusing on job-related ones that won't impede your ability to perform your duties. Tony Santora, an executive vice president for Right Management, a major outplacement firm in Philadelphia, says an information-technology manager flubbed a 2007 interview by choosing a personal foible as his reply： 'My true weakness is that I am a terrible cook.'

關鍵在哪里？那就是充分的準備。職場專家建議，你可以整理一下自己的缺點，挑出其中跟工作有關、但又不會妨礙你行使工作職責的方面。
