Here’s a framework for how to answer personal questions on interviews such as:
“Tell me more about yourself”
“What are your greatest strengths/weaknesses?”
etc
It goes like this 👇🏼
“Tell me more about yourself”
“What are your greatest strengths/weaknesses?”
etc
It goes like this 👇🏼
Step 1
say: I’m an X person.
Examples:
I’m a self aware person
I’m a competitive person
I’m a curious person
These are positive big picture descriptions that Frame what comes next & tells them what to think of. Also gives you room to fill in the details to support the idea.

Step 2
Use Moral Authority Frame
say: and I know nobody is perfect. We all have things we need to work on. The ones i’ve identified are..

Step 3
Give them an Honest challenge that DOES NOT interfere with your future role.

Step 4
Tell them what you’ve done to address/solve the challenge + Result of said change
say: So what I did was before starting a project, I would break down the project to bite sized pieces and then go one by one seeing which tasks should be delegated & which should not..

As a result, I was able to accomplish a project in 10 days that normally would take 3 weeks.
So putting it all together this is what it would look like:
🤡: Tell me what’s your greatest weakness
🐉: Apple pie
🤡: Haha! That doesn’t count
🐉: So I’m a self aware person, and I know nobody is perfect. We all have things we need to work on. The weakness i’ve identified
