What is your biggest weakness? Try to spin everything in a positive light.

I look back my whole life, it is always difficult to express myself when I meet someone for the first time. I think I’m an introverted person. It takes much time to adapt the environment. For example, I don’t know how to spread out the topic , with outsider. it is really awkward the first five minutes , I give a direct answer , and there’s no more chance to talk the next step. i also feel nervous during the time. In order to change this personality, I read books , and learned how to make the topic more interesting , and ask related question once I answer the question, which like ping-pong. And try to speak louder to make sure that every learner can understand my talking and arouse interest about my talking. Now I can initiate to talk with someone who I meet for the first time, also reach a consensus very quickly.

It takes me some much time to adapt to a new the environment. For example, I don’t know how to start a the topic/ break the ice with a new employee/colleague. it is really awkward in the beginning first five minutes. I’m not good at chatting with others/ I lack interpersonal skills. i also feel nervous during the time. In order to overcome the weakness, I read books , and learned how to direct the conversation more interestingly , and ask related question afterwards, which would be like ping-pong. I would also try to speak louder to make sure that every one can understand me and be interested in what I say about my talking. Now I can initiate the conversation with people I don’t know and reach a common understanding. o talk with someone who I meet for the first time, also reach a consensus very quickly.
