" - Okay ! Can you tell me three of your strengths and three of your weaknesses ? "
" - I'm sorry ? "
I look at her in surprise. With all my job interviews, this is the first time someone has asked me this.
" - It's simple! Just tell me your strengths and weaknesses ? "
" - Um...of course ! "
I give her an embarrassed smile. I am already stressed, and mentioning my weaknesses is not going to help.
"- Well... "
Come on, Rhéane! You can do it. I'll start with my flaws, so I can end with my skills. That's a good plan.
"- For my weaknesses, I would say that I am someone who is...ambitious. I know that for some people it's not a weakness. But for me, it is. I am someone who likes to aim higher. So...I would put 'ambitious' both as a strength and a weakness."
"- Okay, noted...and then ? "
"- Well, sometimes I'm anxious..."
"- Ah !"
I can see the disappointment in her eyes.
" - But... "
She refocuses her attention on me.
" - Little by little, I manage my anxieties. If I get this job, don't worry. "
Shut up, Rhéane! You're going to mess everything up again.
" - You won't have any problems with me on that side! "
She observes me for a few moments before jotting down some notes on her paper. I'm so apprehensive that I can hear my heart beating loudly.
" - I see... And your third flaw ? "
" - To be honest, I'm a rather shy person, but despite my fears, I know how to be reasonable. Which, by the way, is a good transition to my second quality. "
" - Which is? "
" - I'm a hard worker. You can't find anyone better than me. When I work, I give it my all... And... "
" - That's enough! "
" - Sorry ? But I haven't finished... "
" - That's enough for me ! "
The woman keeps jotting things down on her document. I raise my head a bit to try to read it.
" - Well ! "
She lifts her head and I smile at her.
" - Why do you think you're suited for this secretary position ? "
