How to Answer the Tell Me About a Weakness Question
Description
Lucas and Luna tackle the dreaded 'What is your greatest weakness?' question. They critique the old trick of framing a strength as a weakness (e.g., 'I work too hard'), and argue that interviewers see right through it. Instead, they offer a framework: choose a real, non-core weakness, explain the impact, and share a specific step you're taking to improve. Lucas walks through a concrete example using a former colleague who struggled with public speaking but joined Toastmasters and started delivering team updates. Luna pushes back on how to avoid oversharing or damaging your candidacy. Together they settle on a formula that feels honest but controlled. The episode also includes a natural donation segment tied to the value of practical interview advice.
