Over my countless (15 interviews) I've settled with these 3 flaws:

1) perfectionist: not being able to let go of details, so not looking at the whole perspective. If I don't know something I keep asking till I get it.
2) emotionless in communication: too formal, professional in communication towards new people, clients. In the future I would like to be more relational than functional.
3) Too direct: when I see a huge problem I immediately say it and be correct about it even when the whole group is against me. In the future I could settle with mutual dialogue between team members first before stating the problem immediately.

You see that each of these flaws have good points: perfectionist has quality, emotionless has professionality, directness has correctness.

Just find some good points which also have bad points and I advice you to keep saying these points over and over, studying them over and over till you can say them in your dreams.

And for those of you who wondered if I finally have a job now, next week I'm starting. So keep fighting for it, you'll eventually get it! There is an infinite amount of vacant positions.

So you're the HR consultant? Then you should ask questions like this: Can you give an example of...? People usually be very, very silent when you ask these questions...

Can you give an example of your directness?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That's right, enthusiasm is the key to succesful interviews! An example:

I'm following evening school in Mandarin language. We had two sollicitors aiming for the teaching position. The first one was relaxed and a bit too formal in teaching style, the second one was full of fire and talked really loud with perfect articulation. She was teaching in an interactive way with the whole class.

Conclusion: The first lesson everybody slept. The next lesson everybody was awake. Everyone would choose the second one for the job.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It seems that there are many people who say they are a perfectionist...

Is this a standard answer or something?

It's a trap then!

I was speaking idiomatically.
