The great thing about interviewing is it is the one time you can tell people how wonderful you are and they are actually willing to listen.
Be honest about your qualifications and experience. If an interviewer asks, "What is your biggest weakness?" Do not try to disguise a positive as a negative with a canned baloney answer like, "I work too hard" or "I am a perfectionist." Instead, give an honest answer about a time that you really goofed and put it in the context of what you learned from the experience. A wise CEO once told me that a person who learns from mistakes is more valuable than a replacement employee.Thank you to our colleagues at the Culture & Manners Institute for sharing their wisdom!
