Following through on tasks to the end is not usually a trait that causes problems at the workplace – unless it also means that you find it hard to complete them because there is always something that can be improved. This can result in never-ending projects and frowns from the boss. If you choose to highlight the above as a personal weakness, you also give the impression that you always perform your work tasks as thoroughly as possible. On the other hand, it’s important to mention that you actively work to turn your weakness into a strength – for example by giving yourself deadlines early on in the workflow, in order to avoid making last-minute changes. Example: “My greatest weakness is that I sometimes find it difficult to let go of work tasks. I am my own worst critic, and I can always find something about a project that I feel should be changed, or could be improved. I actively try to remedy this by setting deadlines for when parts of a task should be completed.” An employer may not be keen on an employee who lets projects drag out, but they will be positively inclined towards a candidate who strives to work in a structured manner and carries out tasks to the letter.
