How do you answer what are your weaknesses in a job application?

You want to select a negative that could be seen as a positive for the workplace. For instance, if you're too detailed oriented, that might be a good thing. If you're a work-a-holic, that's also a good thing for your employer.

Whatever you do, don't say you're lazy or sleep through your alarm clock or don't get along well with others. Find a negative and make a positive out of it.
