Thanks for this post. Weaknesses are important, and trying to hide them, or dodging the bullet as you suggest Simon, serves no one well. I wrote a piece on weakness recently called Quitter. I found it tough to write and enjoyed the subsequent release. And like you I feel that talking honestly about these weaknesses is a strength. In case you or your readers are interested here is a link to what I wrote.

How To Talk About Your Weaknesses
It’s hard enough that we have to talk about our strengths to others, but our weaknesses? That’s just the worst. Even more confounding, we’re only asked to talk about our weaknesses and our strengths in an interview, but after we get the job, we’re rarely ever asked to talk about what makes us so...
Cool post. Love the interview and the app too. Thanks!

Phone, Twitter, audio app, blog and cupcakes - content on the fly

Hello Andy. At first glance I was a bit frightened. Rules do that to me you see. Then I read on and relaxed, "Everyone will (and should) have their own 'rules of social media engagement', depending on their own personal agenda." Our own rules - that feels better.
Your guidance is useful thanks. You've helped me to think specifically about LinkedIn and how I don't really develop it all that well currently. Will ponder a little more and develop over Christmas into New Year.
Cheers for the steer - Doug

What are YOUR rules of social media engagement?
There is always one question that comes up in every single social recruiting workshop or training session I do for companies. It is even one I question myself on from time to time! The question comes in several guises but is essentially the same one; Who do we follow (on Twitter)? or Who do ...
May I be among the first to wish you an exciting future. Good luck and have fun.
Cheers - Doug

So it’s farewell XpertHR and hello . . .
After 18 fun and successful months at XpertHR I’m moving on. My post is being made redundant, which is a blow, but I understand the business imperatives. In many ways my work is done - much of what I came to do is now embedded in the team and I am very proud of that. I have really enjoyed being...
