Discover your dream Career
For Recruiters

If your boss was asked to provide three criticisms of you, what would he say?

And the answer was:

I am a perfectionist always double and triple checking things which makes my boss worry I won't meet the deadline, but thankfully I always meet my deadlines.

Because I am so interested in all the different areas of the business I take on a lot of work.

Finally I am a very heads down worker and my boss might say that I don't come to them enough. I like to get my head down and work through the problem myself until it's done.

Additional information

This was asked for an analyst 2 role. He got the job.

    In view of the job the interviewee was going for the answers worked. For a managerial role answering in this way would have backfired badly.
    Broadly speaking best to think of things to say that are not real weaknesses. Exaggeration also not a good idea.
