Weakness Warnings
A sample of wrong answers to the most common interview questions:
"I have no weaknesses"
"I am a workaholic"
"I can't seem to meet tight deadlines"
"I am impatient with incompetent people"
"I lack judgment when I'm under stress"
"I sometimes make mistakes with my work"
"I'm detail oriented"
"I like to drink now and then"
"I can't tolerate trite interview questions like this one"
