No wonder you've not had much work lately with a weakness answer like that. If you make it too obvious that you're trying to make your biggest 'weakness' something they would see as a strength, they will think you're a kiss-arse or personality-less cunt.
I done that at my last job interview and noticed their faces had turned to 'fuck this smarmy cunt' mode so quickly blurted 'but i talk too much and like to make stupid jokes'. Made them laugh and needless to say I got the job.

Strength: I can deal with any given situation the job might throw up, even if it's something I can't directly do right now due to lack of experience/equipment/assistance, I can keep the shit from hitting the fan until it can be sorted out.

Weakness: I'm untidy.

Strength: Obssessive persistence/determination to get a job finished to the highest possible standard once started. Bounce!

You never end a sentence in an interview, negatively.

Sure, mention one of your weaknesses but finish the sentence how you are trying to improve on it. Brick Wall

Strengths: Quick to learn, good at problem solving

Weaknesses: I sometimes get bogged down in the detail and can't see the big picture, but I've been trying hard to improve on that.

Many many years ago I went for an interview for a Car valeter/driver at a Volkswagon dealership.

During the interview he pointed out I would need to loose the earings (two small hoops in one ear) as VW have a strict Jewelry policy, I asked why the Receptionist was allowed to wear earings and he said thats because she is female.

I decided I didn't want this job anymore so when he asked the weakness question I replyed

"sniffing cocaine off of a naked prostitute"


Funnily enough I didn't get it.

I am extraordinarily good at dealing with problems presented by complete strangers and getting to the nitty gritty of the problem quickly.

Quite bad at adapting quickly enough to new admin procedures, and my spelling sucks.

Strengths: leadership and people skills, problem solving and the ability to learn quickly.

Weaknesses: untidy with poor organisational skills and too stubborn for my own good, particularly with the boss and arsehole customers.

I work hard, I think ahead and I will do everything to the highest possible standard.

I just fucking hate being told what to do by someone who knows fuck all about my job and the way nature works. You stay in the office, I'll stay out here and do the work.
