List of skills you need to attain
Eagerness to learn
Focus on growth

Step 1: Avoid generic answers（避免已经用烂的答案，例如“我是工作狂”，“我没有缺点”等等）
Avoid the most obvious, overused answers, like “I’m a workaholic,” or “I don’t have a weakness.” Employers have heard them many times and are able to see right through your ploy.

Step 2: Don't be too honest（不要过于诚实）
Don’t be too honest. Employers don’t want hear that you have trouble with authority or that you’re not a team player.

Step 3: Look for areas of improvement（弱点最好是可以通过努力或锻炼可以改进的）
Look for areas of your work life that could use improvement or skills you would like to hone but didn’t get a chance to at your previous job.

Step 4: Show eagerness（表现出自己的渴望）
Show your prospective employer how eager you are to attain new skills and explain how they could benefit their company. For example, “I never got a chance to give presentations at my previous job, so I’d love to have the opportunity to develop the public speaking skills that your company can use.”

Most hiring managers are looking for your ability to learn and grow.

Step 5: Focus on growth（将重点放在成长与进步上）
Focus on your personal growth by explaining how you overcame a weakness in your previous position. For example, you used to struggle with meeting deadlines until you took time-management classes to overcome it. Package a strength with your weakness, and you’ll have the interview in the bag.

Forty-nine percent of hiring managers surveyed cited speaking negatively about a current or previous employer as one of the most detrimental mistakes made during a job interview.
