The device to the first place of work is a troublesome and incomprehensible thing. On a student’s bench, they’re not taught to fill out questionnaires, and if they talk about it, then in a general sense, without specifics. Therefore, young people enter into a stupor when it is required to name the weaknesses of a person. What to write How, in general, to approach such points? How are the strengths and weaknesses of a person in terms of professional activity? Let's get it right.
Self-knowledge
To begin with, a person, one way or another, evaluates his character, inclinations, abilities. He knows more about this than anyone else. Weaknesses of man - a barrier that impedes its implementation. As such, we usually consider laziness, distraction, gluttony, love to sleep, a desire to have fun, and not to work. But this has an indirect relation to the duty station. And is it worth it to tell the employer that you like to eat cakes three times a day? This does not particularly affect the performance of work duties.
When you want to talk about yourself, you need to focus on the conditions in which you have to work. That is, to analyze their qualities, to identify those that will help to work, and those that interfere. Pay special attention to the "weaknesses of man." Speak too much - you will be denied a job application. Hide the actual - they will be fired in a few days. The moment is very thin. It should be approached carefully, thoughtfully, accurately, but honestly. Below we will try in practice to fill out this paragraph so as to avoid negative consequences. But first, take a piece of paper and write down what you consider your weaknesses. Don't think about work yet. Fix everything that comes to mind. Then weed out the excess.
How to analyze your abilities
To describe the weaknesses of a person for a questionnaire, it is necessary to carefully understand the nature, habits, internal settings. Say that only a specialist can do it? Wrong! Now you will see everything for yourself. Sit comfortably with a pen and make lists. Record in the hotel columns what:
- it turns out well;
- like to perform;
- it doesn’t work at all;
- it is still necessary to master;
- causes disgust;
- done, but with a creak, without enthusiasm.
If you approach this process thoroughly, you will get the basis in order to identify the weaknesses of the person for the questionnaire. So, in principle, experts act. They pull the specified information during the conversation, observation, testing. But you know yourself, therefore, things will go faster. And in order to facilitate your work, here is a list of what are considered weaknesses. Focus on this data, but try not to copy it. Stir your own brains!
Human weaknesses: examples
Your employer needs you to move things, not stand still. A person is defined a circle of duties that must be strictly fulfilled. His personality traits can interfere with work. In order to reconcile such, there are no joins and a column is filled in, which determines the weaknesses of a person. Believe me, there is nothing shameful in this. We are all different, different from each other. One can command, the other is better able to perform. The one and the other individual will find a place for himself that will bring him satisfaction and profit, and benefit the common cause. Weaknesses may be those (for the employee):
- lack of a penchant for communication, low sociability;
- isolation;
- little experience;
- excessive emotionality;
- lack of specialized education;
- bad skills;
- Conflict
- condescending attitude to lies.
The list is very approximate in order to guide the person who first encountered the problem. Here you can add, for example, the fear of public speaking (if necessary), the inability to count money (as needed) and so on. It is necessary to proceed from the official duties for which you are applying.
Strengths
By analogy, you can praise yourself in the profile. Indicate all your talents, abilities, skills, experience. For example:
- willpower;
- endurance;
- durability;
- leadership skills;
- purposefulness;
- calm
- organization;
- clarity of mind;
- determination;
- sociability;
- initiative;
- patience;
- love of truth;
- justice;
- thrift;
- business ability;
- financial skills;
- tolerance;
- spirituality;
- analytics;
- ability to compromise;
- artistry;
- accuracy;
- respect for leaders.
The list is also very approximate. Correcting it will be easier if they explain to you what you need to do at work. Be sure to ask. And from the responsibilities highlight the skills that are necessary for their successful implementation.
What is desirable to hide
It is not recommended to lie when filling out the questionnaire. But there are moments that are better not to talk about. For example, you lack willpower. That is, there were no moments in life when it needed to be demonstrated. So you think that it is not there. Then just do not indicate this item. There is nothing wrong with that. Believe me, this quality, called positive by society, is doubtful for the employer. If the worker rests, having all the makings to achieve the goal, it is difficult to deal with him. Such people complain to the courts, and they can write a statement to the authorities. Why do these problems to the authorities?
When filling out the questionnaire, focus more on business characteristics. Here it should be extremely sincere. Each item indicated in the questionnaire will be tested in practice. It will be uncomfortable and embarrassing if caught in a lie. Do not know how to talk with a client - just indicate. This business is acquired - they will teach. And for honesty, get bonuses, albeit so far intangible.
Recommendations
You know, the interview is usually conducted by people who can highlight the strengths and weaknesses of a person. Examples constantly pass before their eyes. Involuntarily, you will learn to notice the subtleties and nuances of behavior, to project them onto characters. When faced with such a questionnaire, fill it out and read it twice. You need to take a look at your data as if from the outside. You have two lists. Look at the ratio of lists. It is desirable that there are three times more positive, strong qualities than weak ones. Judge for yourself, who needs a worker who does not know how, does not want to? It is foolish to give such an individual a chance for growth. And what do you think?
