endzone_dave Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I was asked this once in an interview and I said "perfectionist" which is the furthest from the truth. Now, I'd say something like "Speeking in front of a lot people I don't know. I'm getting much better though." It's hard to bs your way through the "perfectionist" answer.

KevinthePRF Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 In all job interviews since I was a teenager and I have never been turned down I have used the same response. And that is that I am not a fast worker. Although I quickly follow up by saying that because I like to be completely thorough in everything I do I just don't finish tasks as fast as I would like.

Baculus Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I also think it is a good idea to work a strength into your answer with these type of questions. The "perfectionist" response is isn't too bad or horribly trite and better than giving a blank stare to the interviewer. I always would say something such as "I have to make sure I am just happy with the end result and just move on to the next task," or some such response.
