00:00:04,530 --> 00:00:09,420

It cool so many people in Eagle community have said that they're nervous about the weakness question



2

00:00:09,430 --> 00:00:11,020

What is your greatest weakness.



3

00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:17,540

So in this module we're going to deliver a hack from easel user David which who gave us a great strategy



4

00:00:17,540 --> 00:00:21,290

for this that will help you evade this tricky question.



5

00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:22,450

So it goes like this.



6

00:00:22,580 --> 00:00:27,590

You have your basic skills and if you need to check out the module on the big six skills then go ahead



7

00:00:27,590 --> 00:00:29,400

and check that out again if you need to.



8

00:00:29,540 --> 00:00:33,080

Anyway you have your basic skills and the weakness question comes in.



9

00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:39,020

So then what the strategy is is that you want to talk about a weakness that is outside of your big six



10

00:00:39,020 --> 00:00:40,890

skills and you want to keep it short.



11

00:00:41,090 --> 00:00:42,270

So here's an example.



12

00:00:42,410 --> 00:00:45,200

So Becky is interviewing for a marketing manager position.



13

00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,650

So these are the big six skills that are required for that position.



14

00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,390

So the witness question comes in and then Becky might say something like You know one of my greatest



15

00:00:53,390 --> 00:00:59,330

weaknesses is bookkeeping because bookkeeping is far outside of anything that is going to be done by



16

00:00:59,330 --> 00:01:00,620

a marketing manager.



17

00:01:00,620 --> 00:01:05,930

And then Becky will keep her answers short to make sure that she doesn't accidentally veer off into



18

00:01:05,930 --> 00:01:10,300

some place that shows that she has a weakness related to her core skills.



19

00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,460

So in summary when the witness question comes in.



20

00:01:13,460 --> 00:01:19,640

Choose to highlight a weakness authentically that is outside of your big skills and keep your answers



21

00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,880

short to make sure that you don't go anywhere that you didn't intend to go.
