❓ How would you respond to the common interview question: What are your weaknesses? When asked about your weaknesses, it’s crucial to provide an honest yet strategic answer that shows self-awareness and a commitment to personal growth. Here’s a structured response you can use: 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆: "I'm strong in [related skill A] and [related skill B], but I'm looking to expand my knowledge in [specific weakness]". 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴: "To address this weakness, I am already taking an online course on [topic] to close this gap. I always actively seek opportunities for learning and growth, whether through formal training programs, mentorship, or self-directed study." Remember to tailor your response to the context of the interview, ensure that the weakness you describe is not a core requirement for the job, and emphasise the proactive steps you have taken to improve. Good luck! #interviewquestions #interview

Given that the cost of staff turnover is 25% or more of an annual salary, what measures are companies taking to retain their staff? It's anticipated that it will take 40 days to replace an employee, and an additional 60 days for the new recruit to become productive in their new role. This amounts to a total of 100 days of lost productivity, along with other recruitment, onboarding, and training expenses. Curious about what employee turnover is costing your company?
