Networking is much the same (minus the alcohol and music, well, usually). It’s all about exposure and it’s what we do when expanding our social circles; we seek out interaction with individuals with whom we have something in common, as the likelihood of compatibility increases with similarity of interests/background. Yet, searching for suitable suitors, for work or for play, isn’t easy. How many of us have a genuine interest in the people around us? How many of us have a genuine interest in helping those people? Were we to heed Dale Carnegie, I believe unemployment would already have dropped considerably, or at the least we could hold everyone’s attention during introductions, and there might even be world peace.

What is your main weakness? Interviewers ask this question to try and draw out significant flaws that may affect an employee’s performance. Saying you have anger issues, drinking problems, dislike people not like you, or other major weakness is just a good way to find yourself on the way out the door. A good way to answer this tough interview question is to state a small weakness that can also be looked at as a positive by an employer. For example, when you say “I often find myself being too diplomatic,” says that, in reality, you have a strength as being someone who can work well a diverse group of people in a variety of situations.
