A short YouTube monologue by Will Humphreys advising job candidates on how to answer the interview question “What are your weaknesses?”. He recommends authenticity—admitting real, development-focused weaknesses (e.g., lack of formal leadership training, poor public speaking) rather than feigned strengths—so the interviewer sees the candidate's humanity and potential to grow.

How to answer the question what are your weaknesses? So listen, don't do what most people do by coming in and trying to turn their strengths into weaknesses like I work too hard or I care too much. This is your opportunity to do one thing. Think of the word authenticity. Authenticity is your chance to win them over with your humanity by showing them you're a real person with actual weaknesses that they can't count on. One time in an interview I had someone tell me when I get overwhelmed and poorly communicated with, I shut down and it made me want to hire them on the spot because I knew what I had in front of me. So remember, this is your chance to express things like I've never been formally trained as a leader, but I would love the opportunity to learn. Or maybe it's a matter of listen, I'm not a good public speaker, but I would support someone else who would love to be able to do that in your company. Remember, winning them over with authenticity is key.
