Pretty accurate.  Except the last bit... well, that's true too, 'cause I'd always use protection anyway.

But if I'm asked that question in a job interview, how the hell do I answer it?

Oh, a weakness?  Erm, well, I'm laid-back which allows me to be personable with other members of "the team".  I love pussy, so any hot girls are mine but unfortunately I never finish anything I start, so it means Sindy (and yes, I've met her already, she's lovely but 'cause I'm a cynical b*****d, I would be very careful with her) in accounts would be left disappointed.  And don't even think about giving me a desk.  It'd end up looking like your desk.  A mess.  Is that your wife?  Oh cool.  She's certainly some nice Milf.  I forgot to mention that because of my dalliances, it also means I have a terrible sleep pattern and so I'll always be late in the mornings too.  Do you like Magma?

Don't try to turn your negatives into positives.  Give one or two honest to God flaws about yourself but give concrete steps on how you are overcoming them.  Interviewers are actually turned off by that cutesy "I'm a perfectionist" sh*t.

Ugh, I've slept freakin' all day and I'm still tired.

James wrote: I'm certainly not a perfectionist. That's the problem though.  I'm quite happy being honest about my weaknesses (it shows my honesty, obviously) but because they're weaknesses, it's hard to find a way of overcoming them so easily, or showing them that I'm trying to overcome them. Yes, one of my weaknesses is waking up on time, so I've fitted a very loud alarm.  Phil Collins wakes me up in the mornings with his vacuous balladry.  Do you listen to Magma?

Just sing to your interview:

PEOPLE AROUND...

NO ONE TO TOUCH!

...and this just never gets old.

Ooh arrh ooh arrh!

I killed it earlier and it was discovered I have a secret agenda, do you have one too?

I heard they reference Firefly a ton in that show.

Rob, you need to get a job as a life coach.

She has stupid hair. 

Matt, I finally finished it. Did you think Boast Busters really sucked? I stop caring about an episode when it's not about the interactions of the 6 main characters, Trixie is annoying and I don't like Spike.
