Thank you so much! For me, when asked of my strengths and weaknesses, I often start with giving some of my strengths and then weaknesses. However, as soon as I lay out my weaknesses, I give example(s) from experience, where those weaknesses play as strengths in various situations. I try to paint a picture of positive energy by turning weaknesses into strengths. :) <br/><br/>Anyhow, thank you for your tips. I sure will add them to my lists! Hope to see you soon, and until then, enjoy the rest of your summer.<br/><br/>Warmest aloha,<br/>Mahealani (Dee) Wow, all these tips are extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

I responsed to the answer frankly. However, I also explained how I handled with my weaknesses and how I could adjust them to be the strong points which would fit to the position.

If this the first of multiple interviews, you can turn it back to the interviewer by saying something like, "I would expect the pay to competitive for someone with my background and skills but would prefer to wait discussing specific numbers until there is I offer. Are you offering me the job?"<br/><br/>It shows initiative and if the interviewer still presses you can always use your researched salary range. Who knows, you may even get an offer.
