Think about how your weaknesses have affected your ability to complete tasks or reach goals. How did you deal with those situations? How would you handle a similar situation now, based on your experience and growth as a person and a professional? For example, maybe you failed to meet a project deadline at a previous job because you took on too many projects at once. Did you become better at prioritizing your tasks after that? If you were faced with a similar situation now, would you ask for help from a colleague or supervisor instead of trying to handle it all yourself? Once you’ve identified your weaknesses, come up with some specific steps you are actively taking to improve in those areas. This could include things like taking classes to close gaps in your skillset, adopting strategies to help you stay better organized, or getting coaching to improve your communication skills. For example, “I lack on-the-job experience in grant-writing, but I’ve taken several online grant-writing classes, and I’m working toward earning a certification.” Before going into the interview, figure out exactly what you want to say and write it down. You don’t need to memorize every word, but practice it enough so that you can confidently touch on all the points you want to address. For example, you might write something like:  “In my last job, I had a tendency to take on too many projects at once, and I had a hard time admitting when I needed help. After I missed an important project deadline, I started making an effort to select my projects more carefully and manage my time better. I worked with my supervisors and co-workers to split up our responsibilities in a more logical and efficient way. Because of that experience, I now have a much better idea of what kind of workload I can handle effectively.” In case you have not already taken any steps to address your weaknesses, you can write down possible steps to improve yourself in the future . “I have just done the minimum to get by in college. I have not pushed myself to do my best, either academically or in campus events/ clubs etc. When I look back, there are so many opportunities I have missed by being lazy. From now on, I intend to make the most of every opportunity I get in life!”

Summary: Find examples of how you have grown from past challenges. Describe how you are managing and improving your weaknesses. Write a script.


Chris Brown is known to do popping and locking when he dances. These two popular dance styles take a little practice and muscle control to get down.  Popping is a bouncy dance style where you isolate your body parts to the beat of the music. When you practice popping, imagine a wave is moving through your body, causing your body parts to move one after another. Locking is a controlled dance style where you move quickly and then freeze, locking your body in one position. Then, you continue moving at the same speed as before, coming out of the lock. Locking is often done with jerky arm and leg movements, while your hips stay loose to the beat of the music. Krumping is a common style of dance that Chris Brown does often in his dance routines. Krumping involves firm stomping, quick footwork, and large sweeping movements with your arms and legs. You can then integrate krump moves in your dancing to imitate Chris Brown.  In krumping there are three types of stomps: the lift stomp, the kick stomp, and the slide stomp. Start by learning the stomps and then add in hand and arm movements, such as arm swings. In krumping you can also do chest pops and add in hip jerks to create a combination of movements. Chris Brown is known for using breakdancing moves in his dancing, such as the toprock, the six step, and the coin drop. Start by learning basic breakdancing moves like the toprock or the indian step.
