This is a common tactic, but interviewers know about it. “I’m hyper-focused on doing quality work” or “I sometimes struggle with work-life balance and work too much” aren’t real weaknesses. They’re strengths disguised as weaknesses—at least from a recruiter’s perspective. Remember, everyone has weaknesses, and it’s okay to admit a weakness in your interview. You just need to showcase that you’re working on it and it’s not going to impact your ability to do work.
