Counterbalance
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Success is achieved by developing our strengths, not by eliminating our weaknesses.
This is one of the most common questions asked during a job interview. If I were to answer truthfully, this would have been my answer…
My weakness is that I easily get irritated/annoyed with my co-workers. Especially the silly ones. Those who insist on turning the volume of their pc speakers up when you are busy concentrating on balancing the books of the company. Or those who insist on playing local novelty songs that grate on your nerves. Or those who keep on going on bathroom or coffee breaks when there’s a deadline to meet. Or those who can’t keep their mess on their own work stations. I can go on and on and the list will be several pages long.
Now, my strength is I can easily adapt in any given environment. In short, I am good at pretending! I can pretend to be fine with whatever is going on around me when I need to.
Don’t you think my strength and weakness counterbalance each other?
Hehehe
